The Board has remanded the case due to inadequate examination reports and a need for further medical evaluation to determine if the Veteran's blurry vision is related to service-connected TBI residuals, migraine headaches, and other conditions.
The deciding factor: Further medical examination is needed to assess the nature and etiology of any identified vision disability and its relationship to active service and the service connected TBI residuals.

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.
