The appeal is remanded to ensure proper notice of the decision on the issue of entitlement to payment or reimbursement for non-VA medical services provided from July 20 through July 29, 2020.
The deciding factor: Remand necessary due to deficiencies in the February 2021 EOP regarding the denial of the appellant's request for payment for the cost of non-VA medical services, specifically lack of adequate notice as required by 38 U.S.C. § 5104.

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.
