The Board has decided that there are questions regarding the Veteran's net worth and pension benefits, and requires additional information to determine if his net worth is a bar to receiving VA pension. The Veteran needs to provide updated income and expense documentation, including details about his IRA and bank accounts.
The deciding factor: There are discrepancies in the value of the Veteran's assets and income that need to be clarified before determining if his net worth is a bar to receiving VA 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.
