Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an annual clothing allowance for the 2019 calendar year due to use of right knee braces because a significant amount of documentation is missing from the claims file.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to reconstruct the record and associate with the claims file all relevant clothing allowance records.

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.
