The Board remands the case to issue a statement of the case regarding the Veteran's claim for a compensable disability rating for his right foot conditions.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to the untimely issuance of a statement of the case and the need to address the Veteran's timely notice of disagreement with the February 2008 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.
