The Board has found that there was not substantial compliance with its previous remand directives and thus the case is being returned to VA for further development, including a new examination.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the previous examination provided by VA was inadequate and requires another one to address the Veteran's claims under 38 U.S.C. § 1151.

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.
