The Board remands the appeal for further development to clarify whether the Veteran has a current cold weather residual and, if so, whether such condition is related to claimed cold weather exposure.
The deciding factor: There is some confusion as to whether the Veteran has or had a neurological condition of the bilateral feet during the pendency of this appeal, and clarification is warranted.

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.
