The Board remands the issues of entitlement to increased ratings for left hip disabilities and a TDIU claim due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to inadequacies in the current VA examinations, including lack of weight-bearing range of motion testing and insufficient analysis of functional limitations.

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.
