The Board has remanded the case for readjudication due to a recent Court decision that addressed whether new and material evidence had been submitted to reopen the appellant's claim for revocation of VA benefits (except insurance benefits) under 38 U.S.C.A. § 6103.
The deciding factor: The Court held that the appellant's claim was subject to the statutory and regulatory provisions regarding the reopening of claims, and remanded it for readjudication in order to address what evidence is required for the appellant to reopen the VA-benefits-eligibility forfeiture imposed upon her by evidence found to show beyond a reasonable doubt that she had committed fraud in seeking such benefits.

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.
