The Board remands the issue of an effective date prior to July 28, 2023 for the grant of accrued benefits due to a lack of substantial compliance with previous remand directives.
The deciding factor: There was not sufficient review or development completed as directed by the May 2024 Order regarding entitlement to additional Veteran pension benefits for the liberalizing law period from April 29, 2021 through April 30, 2022.

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.
