Remanded (sent back)

The deciding factor: Separation pay records from DFAS are needed to determine if the Veteran was indeed paid the specified amount.

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.
