The Board has decided that the change in the Veteran's Means Test eligibility category from copay exempt to Geographic Means Test/prescription copay required for income year 2015 was proper and remanded the case due to missing documents.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the unavailability of signed HEC Form 200-1A and signed VA Form 10-10EZR, which are necessary to determine if the Veteran's income met the Means Test criteria for 2015.

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.
