Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the case due to incomplete documentation and failure to conduct an audit of the benefits paid to the deceased spouse. The appellant is seeking payment for accrued benefits his mother received.
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to comply with previous directives in remanding the claim, necessitating another remand.

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.
