The Board has remanded the claims for service connection due to insufficient development of evidence regarding the etiology of the Veteran's seizure disorder and dizziness. The Veteran is seeking service connection for these conditions, which are currently not service-connected.
The deciding factor: The claims were remanded because the medical opinions on the etiology of the Veteran's seizure disorder and dizziness were inadequate to address the alternate theories of entitlement raised by the Veteran.

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.
