The Veteran's claim for service connection for a left hip condition was denied in November 2015. The Board has remanded the case due to new evidence submitted by the Veteran, but did not find it material or sufficient to reopen her claim.
The deciding factor: New evidence submitted by the Veteran does not provide new and material evidence to support her claim for service connection for a left hip condition.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
