Remanded (sent back)

The Veteran's right ankle disorder may be related to his military service, but the Board needs to verify all periods of active duty for training and inactive duty for training from May 1986 to May 2012. Additionally, they need to obtain any Army Reserve service records.

The deciding factor: Verification is needed for the Veteran's claimed ACDUTRA and INACDUTRA periods as well as Army Reserve service records.

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.
