The veteran's claim for nonservice-connected disability pension benefits is being remanded due to the need to obtain medical records related to his motor vehicle accident and a VA physical examination.
The deciding factor: The case requires additional evidence in the form of medical records from the veteran's treatment following his motor vehicle accident and a comprehensive VA examination to assess all disabilities, both physical and psychological.

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.
