The Board has denied the Veteran's claims for service connection due to a lack of current disability manifested by dizziness and insufficient evidence linking his acquired psychiatric disorder and sleep disabilities to service. The cases are remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support finding that the Veteran currently has a diagnosed disability characterized by dizziness, or that any acquired psychiatric disorder or sleep disability is related to service.

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.
