The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for benign positional vertigo and residuals of a hysterectomy due to outstanding VA treatment records and potential private medical records. The Veteran is also seeking service connection for these conditions, which will require further examination and review.
The deciding factor: The decision was remanded because there are outstanding VA and potentially private medical records that need to be obtained and reviewed before a determination can be made on the claims.

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.
