The Board has ordered the case to be remanded for compliance with a February 2013 decision, which required additional notice and development of the claims.
The deciding factor: The case was previously denied due to lack of evidence linking the Veteran's death to service or VA treatment. The appellant must provide new and material evidence to reopen her claims.

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.
