The Board has remanded the cases for further development due to new evidence being added to the claim file.
The deciding factor: New VA treatment records and a VA examination have been added to the case file, but were not considered by the AOJ. The Veteran did not provide a waiver of his right to initial review of this additional evidence within 45 days.

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.
