The Board has granted an earlier effective date of November 29, 2010 for the grant of service connection for tremors. The claim for a higher initial rating for tremors is remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's March 2010 application raised an informal claim for PTSD and secondary service connection for tremors in his November 2010 Notice of Disagreement, which VA did not adjudicate.

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.
