The Board has decided to remand the case for further development, including scheduling a hearing before a Veterans Law Judge at the RO and notifying the Veteran of his right to appoint another representative if he chooses.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to appear for the scheduled hearing due to changes in address without proper notification. The Board is required to ensure that the Veteran has been accorded due process by scheduling a new hearing.

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.
