The Veteran's nephew is seeking a government-furnished grave marker for his uncle who died prior to November 1, 1990 and was buried in a private cemetery with a privately purchased monument. The case has been remanded due to technical issues preventing the production of a written transcript.
The deciding factor: Technical difficulties prevented the production of a written transcript during the July 2014 hearing, necessitating a new Travel Board hearing at the earliest available opportunity.

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.
