The Board remands the issues of entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent for right hip osteoarthritis with deep gluteal syndrome, and compensable ratings for right hip limitation of extension and adduction due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The December 2023 examination findings are inconsistent with other evidence of record, necessitating a new VA examination to clarify the level of functional impairment resulting from the Veteran's right hip disability.

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.
