The Board remands the claims for service connection for a groin condition, special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance, specially adapted housing, and special home adaptation due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain an examination addressing the nature and etiology of the Veteran's groin condition as there is evidence establishing persistent, recurrent symptoms of a groin condition, an injury occurred in service, and an indication that the current symptoms may be associated with active service or another service-connected disability.

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.
