The deciding factor: There is a conflict in the medical evidence regarding the impact of the Veteran's service-connected disabilities on his employability, necessitating additional clarification through examinations.

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.
