Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter to obtain the appellant's service records and VADIR report for verification of his periods of service, as they are necessary to determine eligibility for VA home loan benefits.
The deciding factor: The failure to obtain the appellant's service records is a pre-decisional error which must be addressed on remand.

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.
