Remanded (sent back)
The Board has determined that there are issues at the AOJ level that could impact the appeal, and therefore remanded for further consideration. The appellant's claim of entitlement to burial benefits in excess of $1,062.00 is being remanded due to new evidence submitted by a third party.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there are issues at the AOJ level that could impact the appeal and therefore remanded for further consideration.

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.
