Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA kidney examination to determine the relationship between the diagnosed chronic kidney disease and active service, including exposure to radar, microwave, and solar radiation.
The deciding factor: A pre-decisional error in not providing a VA examination necessitates further action to address the Veteran's 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.
