The Board remands the claim for eligibility for a special home adaptation grant due to unclear evidence regarding the Veteran's service-connected disabilities and their impact on his hands.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to afford the Veteran a VA examination to determine if his service-connected disabilities result in the loss of use of both hands, as required by 38 U.S.C. § 2102(b).

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.
