Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's VR&E services were previously denied because he chose the Employment Through Long Term Services track, which led to him obtaining his Doctoral Degree in Chiropractic Care. The Board has ordered a remand for further action as per M28R guidelines.
The deciding factor: The VRC did not complete the process outlined for self-employment as required by M28R guidelines.

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.
