The Board remands the matter to correct a pre-decisional error regarding the consideration of neuritis associated with the right foot scar.
The deciding factor: The August 2019 DBQ noted neuritis, and the February 2024 C&P examinations did not address this properly.

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.
