Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the veteran's claims for a higher rating for left upper and middle trunk brachial plexus injury and left shoulder impingement to allow consideration of new evidence.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to newly submitted private treatment records that were not considered in the previous 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.
