The claims for service connection for a back condition, bilateral foot condition, and insomnia are being remanded for further development and readjudication due to the submission of new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as there is new and relevant evidence that has not been previously considered in the adjudication of these claims.

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.
