The Veteran's claim for payment or reimbursement of unauthorized non-VA medical services provided from January 8, 2013 through January 18, 2013 is being remanded due to the need to obtain VA treatment records and clarify the services received by the Veteran within the 24-month period prior to January 8, 2013.
The deciding factor: The claim requires clarification regarding the medical services provided by VA within the 24 months preceding January 8, 2013.

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.
