Remanded (sent back)
The Board has decided that the claim for payment or reimbursement of medical expenses at Bronson Battle Creek from August 2015 to August 2017 needs further investigation and additional evidence is required. The Veteran's Conservator disputed the dates of service, and there are missing documents including the original letters of determination.
The deciding factor: The claim requires additional documentation and verification of the dates of service and treatment records from Dr. Rakesh C. Bhan.

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.
