The Board remands the claims for a compensable rating for residuals of left-hand ganglion cyst, TDIU, and SMC for aid and attendance due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: Remand is required as there has not been substantial compliance with previous Board remand requests regarding the issue of entitlement to a compensable rating for residuals of left-hand ganglion cyst prior to September 8, 2022, and a rating in excess of 10 percent thereafter.

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.
