Therefore, service connection for this condition is also denied.
The deciding factor: There is no persuasive medical evidence showing the presence of current diagnoses of left lower extremity tinea pedis or right lower extremity tinea pedis/tinea cruris at any time during the appeal period.,The Veteran's service treatment records do not show a diagnosis of a movement disorder, and there is no credible evidence that it began during active military 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.
