The Board remands the case for another medical opinion to address whether there was a superimposed injury or disease in connection with the Veteran's Ehlers-Danlos syndrome during service.

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.
