Why did my VA claim go from Preparation for Decision to Review of Evidence?

My VA claim went from Prep for Decision back to Review of Evidence. Does this mean that they proposed a rating, and then changed their mind? I did submit another DBQ recently, so I was thinking that may be the reason. My claim has 4 claims combined on it, 3 new, and 1 increase. And all were recently filed, and had no new C&P. Would they rate without a new C&P, or does it look like a denial?

Mine did the same thing, it was because they sent me some release form that I had to sign, scan & upload, its a good sign, it means its moving and someones looking it over.

every time you submit evidence your claim, it will always go back to that stage. remember your claims adjuster has thousands of files to review. doesn't mean denial, but reviewing the new evidence, the more submit the longer the process. for future claims, make sure you have everything you want to submit at once. don't keep submitting new evidence unless they ask

My initial claim was in prep for decision. I submitted a claim for temp 100% for convalescent from a service connected surgery for scars.
This claim was combined with my initial claim and was sent back to review of evidence.
