The Board has decided to remand the case due to inadequate examination and opinion regarding service connection for recurrent low grade fever, including its relationship with psoriasiform dermatitis. A new VA examination is required.
The deciding factor: The previous examination did not provide sufficient information on the etiology of the Veteran's recurrent fevers and their relation to his current conditions.

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.
- Partly granted
The Veteran's psoriasiform dermatitis was granted a 60 percent disability rating, while the other issues were remanded for further development.
- Dismissed
The appeal was withdrawn by the Veteran, and therefore, the claim for an initial compensable evaluation for service-connected psoriasiform dermatitis is dismissed.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has granted service connection for eczematous dermatitis with urticaria, but has remanded the issue of service connection for a skin disability other than eczematous dermatitis with urticaria due to exposure to contaminants in water supply and hazardous fumes from gas, oils, and lubricants during service.
- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a skin disability, finding that there was no evidence of current skin disabilities present during or within one year after service. The Board also found that any current skin conditions were not related to in-service herbicide exposure.
