The Board remands the claims for reimbursement of beneficiary travel expenses incurred on January 16, January 30, February 6, and March 6, 2018, due to missing evidence and non-compliance with previous remand instructions.
The deciding factor: The matter must be remanded because there is no copy in the file of the claim for reimbursement of beneficiary travel expenses incurred on February 6, 2018, and the AOJ has not taken action as instructed by the Board's January 2022 remand instructions.

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.
