The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection due to incomplete records and inadequate examination. The Veteran will need to provide additional medical records, including from Fort Huachuca, Los Angeles Air Force Base, The Presidio of Monterey, and Travis Air Force Base. She may also be provided with new VA examinations.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the claims were not fully developed due to incomplete records and inadequate examination, necessitating further development.

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.
