The Board has decided to remand the case due to a need for additional evidence and examination regarding the Veteran's claim of service connection for an anxiety condition.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including the lack of a VA examination for the claimed anxiety condition.

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.
