The Board has decided to remand the case due to a duty-to-assist error regarding the Veteran's employment status since his last submitted VA Form 21-8940 in August 2020.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on an incomplete assessment of the Veteran's employment status, and more information is needed to determine if he is working full-time or part-time and how much he is making.

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.
