Remanded (sent back)

The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient development of employment information, including from the Maryland Transit Authority and recent employers. The Veteran is required to provide updated VA Form 21-8940, Request for Employment Information in Connection with Claim for Disability Benefits, and a VA Form 21-4192 for each employer identified on his VA Form 21-8940.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the necessary development of employment information was not sufficient and required additional requests to be made by the RO.

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.
