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.

- Denied
The Board found that the veteran does not have any service-connected disabilities and thus, is not entitled to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
