The Board has remanded the claims for service connection for glioblastoma, right temporal lobe and cause of death due to glioblastoma. The claim is being remanded because there are insufficient records to determine if the Veteran's headaches during service were an early sign of his glioblastoma.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence was insufficient to establish a nexus between the Veteran's headaches and glioblastoma, which could affect the determination of whether the glioblastoma is related to 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.
