The Board has decided to remand the case due to incomplete information regarding the Veteran's income and unreimbursed medical expenses for 2015, 2016, and 2017. The Veteran needs to provide this information so that his claim can be reconsidered.
The deciding factor: The Board found insufficient information about the Veteran’s financial status in 2015, 2016, and 2017 which could affect his eligibility for nonservice-connected pension benefits.

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.
