The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for payment of non-VA emergency medical services provided on specific dates due to incomplete records and inadequate notice.
The deciding factor: The decision was remanded because the AOJ failed to provide adequate notice regarding the basis for its decisions and did not have all relevant evidence considered at the time of the initial decision.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
