Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to reversal of a prior RO decision regarding the Veteran's character of discharge and an earlier effective date for service connection for PTSD, due to clear and unmistakable error (CUE).
The deciding factor: Further development is necessary as the RO did not address all CUE arguments raised in the September 2021 CUE motion.

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.
