The Veteran's claim for payment or reimbursement of unauthorized medical expenses at the Shasta ER on September 21, 2006 is being remanded due to a request for another hearing and the need to obtain additional records.
The deciding factor: The Veteran requested a new hearing and needed more time to provide all relevant records. The case will be reviewed again after these steps are completed.

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.
