The Board remands the case for additional development, including a VA examination to determine the nature and etiology of any current neurobehavioral disability.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to errors in the previous hearing that did not adequately inform the Veteran about the issues material to substantiating his claim.

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.
