The Board remands the Veteran's claims for increased ratings for a headache disability, acquired psychiatric disorder, and TBI to cure notice and evidentiary window deficiencies.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to an error in providing adequate notice regarding the applicable evidentiary window for which evidence would be considered by the Board.

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.
