The Board remands the claim for a rating in excess of 30 percent for status post left knee arthroplasty to ensure the Veteran receives an appropriate examination and evaluation.
The deciding factor: The AOJ did not have sufficient information as to the severity of the Veteran's condition after his surgery, warranting a remand for a new VA examination.

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.
