The Board remanded the issue of entitlement to service connection for residuals of a stroke, as well as denied revisions or reversals of April 2015 rating decisions on the basis of clear and unmistakable error.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that there was CUE in the April 2015 rating decision, and the Board referred the new allegation of CUE to the RO for initial adjudication.

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.
