The Board remands the case to obtain information regarding the Veteran's monthly Medicare premium from March 2011 through November 2021, as this information may affect the determination of whether the termination of the Veteran's nonservice-connected pension was proper.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need for additional evidence regarding the Veteran's Medicare premiums to accurately determine their countable income and potential eligibility for pension benefits.

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.
