The Board remands the matter for proper notice to the appellant concerning the authority under which payment of the medical reimbursement sought may be made and the reason for the denial of the claim.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not contain a denial letter or other claims development documentation, leading to inadequate notice to the appellant 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.
