The Board remands the claims for a rating in excess of 10 percent for a right wrist scaphoid fracture, a rating in excess of 30 percent for incomplete paralysis of the median nerve for the right wrist, and entitlement to TDIU prior to November 5, 2013, due to additional development needed regarding the qualifications of the examiners.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary to secure the qualifications of the examiner such that competency may be adjudicated.

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.
