The Board remands the claim for further development, including obtaining an opinion on whether it is in the best interest of the Veteran to participate in the PCAFC program and providing complete notice as required by law.
The deciding factor: The February 2021 CEAT decision lacked sufficient rationale, and there was insufficient notice provided to the Veteran regarding the denial of his PCAFC benefits claim.

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.
