The Board remands the claim for an allowance for an automobile or other conveyance, and adaptive equipment due to inadequate VA examination reports.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations are found to be inadequate in addressing the Veteran's complaints of numbness causing an inability to stand and/or walk at times, which may indicate a functional loss of use of one or both feet during flare-ups. A remand is necessary for another examination to address these concerns.

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.
