The deciding factor: Remand is required due to missing evidence regarding the Veteran's income status and active-duty service period, as well as other potential eligibility criteria not addressed.

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.
