The Board has remanded several issues related to service connection for various conditions, including left kidney condition, migraine headaches, left testicle condition, right testicle condition, foot condition, right shoulder condition, stomach ulcers, an acquired psychiatric disorder (PTSD), ED, eye condition, and sleep apnea. The effective dates for these claims are not addressed in the decision.
The deciding factor: The Board found that several issues related to service connection were remanded due to missing treatment records from both private providers and VA facilities.

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.
