However, no new and material evidence has been received to support the reopening of this claim.,The Veteran's PTSD symptoms do not meet or approximate the criteria for a disability rating greater than 70 percent.
The deciding factor: No new and material evidence was submitted to reopen the tinea versicolor claim, as the evidence presented is cumulative and repetitive of previous considerations.,The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's PTSD symptoms do not meet or approximate the criteria for a disability rating greater than 70 percent.

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.
