The Board remands the matter to verify periods of ACDUTRA and INACDUTRA, obtain relevant medical records, and schedule a VA examination.
The deciding factor: The claimant's veteran status is in question due to lack of proper documentation and potential evidence that may establish service connection for claimed disorders during ACDUTRA or INACDUTRA.

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.
