Remanded (sent back)

The Board has decided that the decision denying the Veteran's request for additional vocational rehabilitation and education training, including obtaining an MBA degree, is unclear. The case must be remanded to clarify whether the Veteran has a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration.

The deciding factor: The decision was based on the assumption that the Veteran had a B.S. in Business Administration, but there are conflicting records regarding this claim.

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.
