The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection for right arm and right leg disabilities due to inadequate examinations. The Veteran is seeking service connection based on her reported symptoms of weakness, numbness, tingling, slurred speech, clumsiness, confusion, disorientation, tiredness, and weakness.
The deciding factor: The Board found the previous VA examinations insufficient and remanded for additional evaluations by a neurologist to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's right arm and right leg disabilities.

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.
