Remanded (sent back)
The Board has determined that the Veteran's medical expenses at Colorado Springs Cardiology on May 15, 2014 are eligible for payment or reimbursement under VA regulations and has ordered a remand to obtain necessary records.
The deciding factor: VA is unable to determine if conditions for reimbursement under VA regulations are met due to missing medical files.

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.
