The Board previously denied the Veteran's motion for CUE in a November 1958 decision. The Court set aside this decision and remanded the matter multiple times due to missing records. This case is being remanded again because the AOJ failed to ensure that the RO and/or RMC conducted a search for an educational file under both the Veteran's SSN and claims number.

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.
