Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the case due to incomplete information provided by the Veteran and requests that both parties provide updated income and expense information. The issues of entitlement to an increased apportionment of the Veteran’s VA compensation benefits and an effective date prior to October 14, 2011 for the award of an apportionment are being remanded.
The deciding factor: Incomplete information provided by the Veteran led to a need for further action on providing updated income and expense information.

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.
