Remanded (sent back)

The Board has remanded the cases due to an apparent discrepancy in when L.C. was added as a dependent spouse and when M.C. was removed from the award, leading to an overpayment calculation error.

The deciding factor: There is an inconsistency between the effective date of the addition of L.C. to the Veteran's award and the removal of M.C., which has led to an overpayment calculation issue.

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.
