The Board remands the issue of entitlement to a clothing allowance for benefit year 2014 due to the need for additional development and issuance of a Statement of the Case.
The deciding factor: The issue must be remanded as the Veteran's notice of disagreement was filed prior to March 24, 2015, and the AOJ has not taken any action regarding it.

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.
