The Veteran's service-connected residuals of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy are rated at various levels, and the Board has determined that additional development is needed to determine the current severity of his disabilities.
The deciding factor: The examination report provided inconsistent findings regarding the presence of peripheral neuropathy in the Veteran's upper and lower extremities, which requires clarification through a new VA examination.

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.
