The Board remands the matters for further development, including obtaining adequate medical examinations to determine the Veteran's current level of disability and whether there is loss of use of both feet or legs.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors, specifically the lack of complete, adequate medical examinations addressing the Veteran's current level of disability.

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.
