The Board remands the claim for nonservice-connected burial benefits due to insufficient evidence regarding whether VA paid for or oversaw the Veteran's end-of-life care.
The deciding factor: Insufficient records and financial documents to determine if VA paid for or oversaw the Veteran's end-of-life care, necessitating further development of the claim.

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.
