Remanded (sent back)
The Board has decided to remand the case due to unclear submission of an updated EVR (VA Form 21-0518). The appellant's net worth was previously deemed excessive for survivor’s pension benefits, but her financial situation may have changed. Clarification is needed on whether she submitted a new EVR.
The deciding factor: The appellant did not submit the requested updated EVR as per the AOJ's request.

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.
