The Board remands the claim for payment or reimbursement of non-VA medical services to ensure all relevant documents are associated with the file and to determine if the care was for an emergency situation or related to a service-connected condition.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to incomplete record and lack of jurisdictional clarity regarding the Veteran's eligibility for payment or reimbursement of non-VA medical services.

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.
