Remanded (sent back)
The Board has determined that the Veteran's claims file is incomplete and requires additional development, including obtaining missing documents such as a request for waiver of recovery, an administrative determination, Notice of Disagreement, Statement of the Case, VA Form 9, Demand Management Center letters, and lay statements.
The deciding factor: The file is incomplete and requires additional development to ensure all relevant information is considered.

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.
