Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a right tibial/fibular fracture, with chronic osteomyelitis, and deep vein thrombosis as secondary to it due to missing records and the need to verify the Veteran's periods of active duty.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to missing records and the need to verify the Veteran's service dates.

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.
