Remanded (sent back)

The Board remands the matters of entitlement to an effective date prior to August 10, 2015 for the grant of a TDIU and DEA due to an error in fulfilling a statutory or regulatory duty regarding the determination of the last day on which the Veteran was substantially gainfully employed.

The deciding factor: The record is unclear regarding when the Veteran last experienced full-time employment, necessitating further development to resolve this conflict.

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.
