Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of whether the Appellant's character of discharge is a bar to VA benefits and entitlement to compensation for diverticulitis with colon and rectal intestinal polyps, as they are inextricably intertwined.
The deciding factor: The issue of insanity at the time of discharge must be addressed before determining service connection for the claimed condition.

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.
