Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's claim for payment or reimbursement of expenses incurred for transport to a private hospital via ambulance on December 8, 2014 is being remanded due to incomplete records and unclear interactions with the VA claims processing center.
The deciding factor: Incomplete medical records from the private hospitals are preventing the determination of the Veteran's claim.

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.
