The Board remands the claim for service connection for chronic lymphoma leukemia to verify the Veteran's dates of service and alleged exposures at Camp Pendleton and El Toro.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to insufficient evidence regarding the Veteran's exposure to toxic chemicals during his service, necessitating further verification of his dates of service and alleged exposures.

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.
