The case is being remanded for further development, including the completion of a Financial Status Report using the current address in Jamesport, Missouri. The claims will be returned to the Board after compliance with these actions.
The deciding factor: Further development is required as the Veteran has not completed the requested financial status report form and there are no indications that the previous attempts were unsuccessful.

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.
