The Board remands the claims for service connection for right and left leg disabilities, to include radiculopathy and hyperkeratosis, for further development of the record.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to an inadequate statement of reasons or bases in support of the decision, as well as to obtain a medical opinion that considers all theories of entitlement.

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.
