The Board has remanded several claims for service connection due to the submission of new evidence. The Veteran's breathing condition, right and left lower extremity deep vein thrombosis, right and left upper extremity radiculopathy, hemangioblastoma of the T10-T-11 vertebrae, and neck condition are among those being reconsidered.
The deciding factor: The Board has received new evidence that warrants a review of the Veteran's claims for service connection.

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.
