The Board remands the issue of entitlement to special monthly compensation based on the need for aid and attendance due to a need for further clarification regarding the Veteran's service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain clarification about whether the Veteran requires the aid and attendance of another person due to her service-connected right and left knee disorders and right hip disorder, which have caused weakness and prevent weight-bearing.

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.
