The Board remands the claims for service connection for left knee strain, right hip trauma, and left hip trauma due to missing medical records from Reynolds Army Hospital.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to obtain relevant treatment records from Reynolds Army Hospital regarding the Veteran's reported parachuting injuries, as these records may impact his hip disability claims. The issues are inextricably intertwined.

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.
