The Board remands the claim for service connection for benign paroxysmal vertigo to correct duty to assist errors and ensure proper development of the evidence.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to inconsistencies in the AOJ's findings and to verify the Veteran's active duty, active duty for training, and inactive duty training dates and obtain relevant medical records.

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.
