The Board remands the issues of service connection for bilateral eye convergence insufficiency and goiter to obtain medical opinions regarding a direct nexus to an in-service injury, disease, or event, as well as secondary service connection theories.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not provide sufficient basis to establish service connection directly or through secondary causes, necessitating further medical evaluation under the PACT Act.

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.
