Remanded (sent back)
The veteran's claim for a certificate of eligibility for financial assistance in the purchase of automobile and adaptive equipment, or for adaptive equipment only, is being remanded for an appropriate VA examination to determine if he meets the criteria.
The deciding factor: The veteran does not meet the current service-connected disability criteria for such assistance without further medical evaluation.

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.
