Remanded (sent back)

The deciding factor: The SSA wage records cited by the AOJ are not associated with the Veteran's claims file, and the Board agrees that an evaluation of the Veteran's assertions regarding possible explanations for the reported income cannot be competently determined until the evidence is obtained.

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.
