The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims of service connection for a pelvic disability, a psychiatric disability other than schizophrenia, paranoid type, and a testicle disability characterized as low testosterone due to incomplete VA treatment records from before December 1994 and after January 5, 2018. The Veteran is also requested to provide authorization for private treatment records related to his disabilities.
The deciding factor: Incomplete VA treatment records were identified that need to be obtained in order to properly assess the Veteran's claims.

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.
