Remanded (sent back)
The Board has determined that the withholding of VA compensation in the amount of $7,239.17 was incorrect due to an error in calculation and remanded for recalculation based on the correct procedures.
The deciding factor: The RO incorrectly used the end-of-year rate instead of the monthly rates applicable during the periods of reserve duty.

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.
