Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection and increased rating due to incomplete records, need for additional examinations, and need for proper notice regarding how to substantiate a claim under 38 U.S.C. § 1151.
The deciding factor: Incomplete service treatment records and need for further development of evidence are the primary reasons for remanding the claims.

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.
