Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's claim for a clothing allowance due to damage from prescribed cream in the 2015 calendar year is remanded as there are outstanding documents and records that need to be reviewed.
The deciding factor: Documents and records related to the Veteran's August 3, 2015 application and NOD are missing from the claims file.

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.
