Remanded (sent back)
The Board has decided that the claim for a clothing allowance for a back brace for calendar year 2015 needs to be reconsidered due to new evidence being added after previous decisions. The case is sent back to the AOJ for further review and consideration of this new information.
The deciding factor: New evidence was submitted after previous decisions, which requires the AOJ to consider it before making a decision on the claim.

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.
