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.

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for premature ventricular contractions, tachycardia, angina, and arrhythmia as secondary to her service-connected asthma and PTSD due to a lack of evidence showing a current diagnosis.
- Partly granted
The Board granted the petitions to reopen claims for service connection for multiple conditions, but remanded all claims for further development.
- Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 30 percent for the Veteran's supraventricular tachycardia, premature ventricular contractions, and premature atrial contractions based on the evidence showing that the workload of greater than 5 METs but not greater than 7 METs resulted in heart failure symptoms.
- Denied
The Veteran's service-connected heart disabilities did not render him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation consistent with his education and work history, thus the TDIU claim is denied.
