The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient examination regarding whether the Veteran's blurry vision is secondary to his service-connected TBI.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not address the Veteran's specific contentions and the relationship between his in-service symptoms and post-service blurry vision.

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.
