The Board has remanded the case due to a lack of an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) showing the amount already paid by the Veteran's other insurance provider and the nature and amount of the remaining balance for his treatment at a non-VA facility in June and July 2017. The Veteran is asked to provide this documentation.
The deciding factor: The claim cannot proceed without an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) showing the amount already paid by the Veteran's other insurance provider and the nature and amount of the remaining balance for his treatment at a non-VA facility in June and July 2017.

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.
