The Board has ordered the RO to provide copies of post-October 1999 remand adjudicative actions on the issues of benefits pursuant to 38 U.S.C.A. § 1151 for transverse myelitis and a higher level of special monthly compensation, as well as allowing the appellant's attorney to review these documents and submit additional evidence or argument.
The deciding factor: The case is being remanded due to the need for the RO to provide copies of post-October 1999 remand adjudicative actions on the issues to the appellant's attorney, who has been represented in other matters but not on these specific issues.

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.
