The Board has determined that there is insufficient evidence to establish service connection for anaphylactic shock with hives, blackouts and unconsciousness or a left upper extremity disorder. The case is being remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The July 2022 VA opinion did not adequately address the Veteran's lay statements regarding the onset of his symptoms and the significance of post-service treatment records in forming its negative nexus opinions.

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.
