The Board remands the case to the AOJ for correction of a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error or any error by the AOJ in satisfying a regulatory or statutory duty if correction of the error would have a reasonable possibility of aiding in substantiating the appellant's claim.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record is conflicting and not sufficient to adjudicate the merits of the appeal at this time due to lack of proper notice and associated documents.

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.
