The Board has remanded the case due to inadequate opinions provided in previous VA examinations and addendums. The Veteran is seeking service connection for a fatigue condition, but the current evidence does not support this claim.
The deciding factor: Previous VA examiners did not provide sufficient rationale or complete evaluations regarding whether the Veteran's symptoms are related to his active duty service or if they constitute a medically unexplained chronic multi-symptom illness.

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.
