Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) and basic eligibility to Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) prior to January 10, 2022. The decision was made due to the Regional Office's failure to comply with previous directives.
The deciding factor: The remand is due to the RO's failure to substantially comply with the Board's October 2023 remand directives.

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.
