The Board remands the issues of basic eligibility for assistance in acquiring specially adapted housing and entitlement to a special home adaptation grant due to insufficient evidence regarding the Veteran's loss of use of her lower extremities.
The deciding factor: Insufficient clinical documentation to determine if the Veteran has a permanent and total disability with loss of use of both lower extremities, or one lower and one upper extremity, for purposes of entitlement to specially adapted housing.

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.
