Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for residuals of lower back injury due to insufficient information regarding the Veteran's National Guard service and the need for additional evidence.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to incomplete service records and the need for further development of the claim.

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.
