The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for a right hand disability, including index, long, and little fingers, for issuance of a statement of the case.
The deciding factor: The matter is being remanded due to an overlooked claim for service connection for additional disabilities of the right hand that were not addressed in the previous decision.

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.
