The Board has remanded the case to the RO for further proceedings consistent with an October 2005 Order from the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, which indicated that the appellant's arguments regarding VA's failure to provide information and counseling were not addressed by the Board in its decision. The RO must address these arguments and obtain an updated financial status report from the veteran.
The deciding factor: The Court found that the appellant's arguments regarding VA's failure to comply with statutory duty to provide information, including availability of counseling, and to the extent feasible, counseling regarding alternatives to foreclosure were not addressed by the Board in its decision.

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.
