The Board has determined that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities do not contribute to a difficulty in obtaining and maintaining suitable employment, leading to the denial of VR&E benefits. The case is being remanded for further clarification of the record.
The deciding factor: The Veteran’s current employment status and educational level were inconsistent, and his ability to obtain suitable employment was unclear.

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.
