The deciding factor: Missing important documents, including the decision on appeal, prevent a complete record from being available for the Board's review.

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.
