Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for additional development to ensure compliance with prior Board remand instructions, specifically to obtain a medical examination and opinion regarding the combined effects of the Veteran's service-connected disabilities on his employability.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to an inadequate VA examination that did not consider all relevant factors as instructed by the Board.

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.
