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.

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Granted
The Veteran's diabetes mellitus and low back disorder are granted service connection, with the PACT Act presumption. The bilateral leg disabilities are remanded for further development.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has decided to remand the claims for diabetes mellitus, type II and low back disability as well as their secondary leg disabilities due to the need for an in-person VA examination. The Veteran's service connection claim for diabetes is being reopened based on new evidence.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the cases due to insufficient evidence regarding the etiology of the Veteran's claimed disabilities. The Veteran is not entitled to service connection for a deviated nasal septum, limitation of motion in the ring or little finger, and limitation of motion of the right leg as these conditions are not related to his active duty service.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected lumbar myositis, psychoneurosis and conversion hysteria, residuals of shrapnel wounds of the left thigh and pelvis with retained foreign bodies and scars, and residuals of shell fragment wounds of the right thigh and left leg. The veteran was also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
