The Board has remanded the case for issuance of a statement of the case regarding whether the discontinuance of vocational rehabilitation services in April 1995 was proper, and to readjudicate the issue of entitlement to vocational rehabilitation services.
The deciding factor: The Court found that the RO had not issued a statement of the case in response to the appellant's August 1995 notice of disagreement with the RO's decision to discontinue his vocational rehabilitation services under Chapter 31. The Court remanded the matter for appropriate procedural compliance, specifically, the issuance of a statement of the case.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
