Remanded (sent back)
The Board has ordered the AOJ to reconstruct and upload all documentation related to the Veteran's claims for clothing allowance for the years 2013 and 2014, as these records are missing from the electronic file.
The deciding factor: The records were not found in the electronic record, necessitating their reconstruction and re-upload.

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.
