The deciding factor: There was not substantial compliance with the Board's April 2024 remand orders regarding the issuance of a Statement of the Case and the association of the original decision letter denying payment or reimbursement for medical expenses incurred on November 5, 2014, at NRH.

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.
