Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for additional development, specifically to readjudicate the claim based on all evidence associated with the record since the July 2024 supplemental statement of the case.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to newly received VA-generated evidence that was not considered in the last 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.
