The deciding factor: Remand is required due to omission of critical information in the notice letter sent to the appellant regarding the need for documentation of unreimbursed medical expenses.

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.
