Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of service connection for a disability manifested by neuralgia and/or paresthesias of right side, special monthly compensation, and eligibility for assistance in acquiring specially adapted housing due to the RO not addressing newly obtained evidence.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as the RO has not issued a SSOC regarding new evidence received after the last SSOC was issued.

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.
