The Board remands the claim for a compensable disability rating for residual floaters of the right eye, status post preretinal hemorrhage to correct an error that occurred prior to the rating decision on appeal.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to obtain and associate with the record any records that have been scanned into Vista Imaging but are not associated with the Veteran's claims file.

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.
