The Board remands the matter to review the Veteran's response and determine if further counseling efforts or mitigating circumstances are present before making a decision on the discontinuance of VR&E benefits.
The deciding factor: The Board found an error in fulfilling regulatory duties regarding the discontinuance of VR&E benefits without first placing the Veteran in interrupted status and verifying his stated reason for non-participation.

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.
