The Board remands the matter to the AOJ for additional evidentiary development, including obtaining financial evidence showing whether the appellant was able to maintain substantially gainful employment prior to November 11, 2013.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to ensure that the AOJ substantially complies with its duty to assist the appellant with the development of his claim and readjudicates the claim in light of additional evidence and guidance from the CAVC.

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.
