The Board is remanding the claim for an initial compensable rating for acneiform process of the nose to obtain additional medical records and a new VA examination.
The deciding factor: The Board failed to provide an adequate statement of reasons or bases when denying the Veteran's claim, as it did not address symptoms described in clinical treatment records and in his Board hearing testimony.

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.
