The Board remands the claim for service connection for vasovagal syncope episodes due to a need for additional evidence and an examination.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to obtain the Veteran's complete service personnel and treatment records, as well as to provide him with another opportunity to complete NA Form 13055. Additionally, a VA examination is required to determine the nature and etiology of his vasovagal syncope episodes.

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.
