The Board has remanded the case for further development, including a determination by the District Counsel as to whether the disputed land is 'submarginal land' and if so, whether rental proceeds from such lands are countable income for Improved Disability Pension purposes.
The deciding factor: Further fact-finding is required to determine if the disputed land qualifies as 'submarginal land', which would affect whether the rental proceeds can be considered countable income for Improved Disability Pension purposes.

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.
