The Veteran presented to the emergency room with left arm weakness on November 8, 2006. The VAMC in Tampa denied payment for services from November 10-17, 2006 due to stabilization by August 2007 and lack of feasibly available VA facility capable of accepting transfer.
The deciding factor: The VAMC was not feasibly available or capable of accepting the Veteran's transfer at any time between November 10-17, 2006.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
