Remanded (sent back)
The Board has decided to remand the case for further readjudication, specifically focusing on determining if additional medical expenses from March 26, 2012 through December 31, 2013 should increase the Veteran's accrued benefits amount.
The deciding factor: The period of last illness is recognized as effective from September 29, 2010 based on the Veteran's need for aid and attendance.

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.
