The Board has remanded the case for further development due to incomplete records and inadequate reasons or bases in the previous decision. The Veteran's skin conditions, including basal cell carcinoma, dermatitis, and psoriasis, are being reviewed again.
The deciding factor: The VA needs to provide an addendum opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's skin disorder, considering the private opinions and relevant literature.

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.
