The Board remands the issues of entitlement to automobile and adaptive equipment or for adaptive equipment only, and special monthly pension based on aid and attendance/housebound for further development and readjudication.
The deciding factor: Additional VA treatment records were added to the claims file since the last Supplemental Statement of the Case (SSOC) was issued in August 2021, necessitating remand for AOJ review.

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.
