The Board remands the claim for the AOJ to provide appropriate notice and properly adjudicate the Veteran's claim under the provisions of 38 U.S.C. § 1725 and 38 C.F.R. §§ 17.1000 through 17.1008.
The deciding factor: The record does not include an AOJ denial letter that decided all questions of law and fact necessary to the decision or provide the appellant with an appropriate basis for the denial or correct identification of any elements not satisfied leading to the denial.

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.
