The appeal is remanded to develop and adjudicate the issue on entitlement to payment or reimbursement of ambulance transportation services provided by Butler Ambulance Service on August 7, 2020.
The deciding factor: The claim was not properly adjudicated under 38 U.S.C. § 1725, as it should have been covered by 38 C.F.R. §§ 17.1000-1008 instead of 38 C.F.R. § 70.1(b).

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.
