The deciding factor: The decision was based on the need to correct an improper docketing issue that terminated the Veteran's Legacy docket, necessitating a remand for issuance of a Statement of the Case under the Legacy system.

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.
