The Board remands the matter to ensure substantial compliance with previous remand directives, focusing on locating internal VA documents and administrative decisions.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need for the AOJ to comply with the terms of a September 2021 joint motion for remand by rebuilding the Veteran's claims file with relevant internal VA documents and administrative decisions.

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.
