The Veteran's claim for payment or reimbursement of medical expenses incurred at Thibodaux Regional Medical Center (TRMC) from April 15 to April 20, 2007 is being remanded due to the need for further development and consideration under new law provisions.
The deciding factor: New law provisions allow retroactive application of payment or reimbursement of emergency medical expenses on behalf of veterans who had insurance but would have been denied without the new law.

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.
