The Board has remanded the claims for an acquired psychiatric disability, a right-hand disability, and a vision disability due to errors in providing adequate notice of the Veteran's right to a hearing on supplemental claims.
The deciding factor: The decision was remanded because the Board did not provide proper notice regarding the Veteran's right to a hearing before the RO as required by regulations and court orders.

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.
