The Board remands the claims for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for right and left anterior tibial tendonitis with overuse syndrome to schedule a VA examination.
The deciding factor: A remand is required due to a need for updated medical evidence and a current assessment of the Veteran's bilateral ankle disabilities.

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.
