Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death, dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC), and survivor's pension due to an error in providing notice of the right to a hearing.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to provide adequate notice of the right to a hearing as required by law.

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.
