Remanded (sent back)
The veteran's appeal is remanded due to a discrepancy in income reporting, and the VA Health Eligibility Center (HEC) needs to consider whether he qualifies for hardship provisions under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1722(e)(1).
The deciding factor: Income discrepancies and divorce status need to be re-evaluated to determine eligibility.

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.
