The Board remands the claim for service connection of a left ankle condition to ensure that due process is followed and there is a complete record upon which to decide the Veteran's claim.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows an in-service injury, but further development is needed regarding the scope of the Veteran's service and obtaining relevant records.

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.
