The Board has determined that the veteran is not eligible for treatment in the VA health care system without a co-payment requirement for a period beginning on May 8, 2002. The case is being remanded to allow further development of financial and other relevant information.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on insufficient financial information regarding the veteran's income and net worth in 2001 and 2002, which could affect his eligibility for cost-free VA health care.

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.
