The Veteran is seeking payment or reimbursement for unauthorized medical expenses incurred at Brandon Regional Hospital on February 5, 2004. The case has been remanded due to incomplete records and the need for further development regarding enrollment in VA healthcare system, other health care coverage, and availability of a suitable VA facility.
The deciding factor: The case is being remanded because essential documents are missing from the consolidated health record (CHR) and additional information is needed about the Veteran's enrollment in VA healthcare system, other health care coverage, and availability of a suitable VA facility on February 5, 2004.

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.
