The case is being remanded for additional development due to the Veterans Law Judge conducting the hearing no longer being employed by the Board. The appellant should be scheduled for a hearing at the RO, and her claims file must be returned to the agency of original jurisdiction.
The deciding factor: The decision was made based on the need to comply with governing adjudicative procedures and due to the change in the Veterans Law Judge conducting the hearing.

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.
