The case is being remanded to obtain a complete copy of the Vocational Rehabilitation file.
The deciding factor: The denial was based on the lack of sufficient evidence demonstrating the Veteran's inability to work in his rehabilitated field or that the occupation is unsuitable due to employment handicap and capabilities.

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.
