The Board has decided to remand the case due to insufficient compliance with previous remand directives regarding provision of an audit reflecting the actual amounts the Veteran was paid during FY 2016. The case will be returned for a month-by-month audit of the Veteran's compensation account.
The deciding factor: The VA needs to provide a detailed audit of the Veteran’s compensation account to accurately reflect the amount actually paid and due, as well as the reduction in disability compensation based on drill pay during FY 2016.

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.
