The Board remands the Veteran's claims for special monthly compensation based on Aid and Attendance and a total disability rating for individual unemployability due to further development of evidence.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to obtain additional private treatment records and a new VA medical examination that addresses whether the Veteran's service-connected varicose veins could have caused him to be wheelchair bound.

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.
