The Board remands the claim for service connection of residuals from a right-eye injury due to insufficient medical evidence linking the current condition to in-service injuries.
The deciding factor: The addendum opinion provided by Dr. C.L. was found inadequate and lacked probative value, necessitating further examination and opinion.

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.
