Remanded (sent back)

The Board of Veterans' Appeals remands the issue of whether the withholding of VA disability compensation due to concurrent receipt of VA disability compensation and drill pay for 75 training days in Fiscal Year 2020.

The deciding factor: The matter is remanded because the Agency of Original Jurisdiction did not verify the number of training days performed by the Veteran during Fiscal Year 2020 with both the Defense Manpower Data Center and the Defense Finance Accounting System, which is a pre-decisional error.

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.
