The deciding factor: Incomplete information on the Veteran's income and medical expenses from 2013 to 2018 prevented a full evaluation of the pension claim.

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.
