The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain relevant records in the custody of a Federal department or agency that could possibly assist the Veteran in substantiating his claim.

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.
