The appeal is remanded for the AOJ to issue a decision adhering to the requirements of 38 U.S.C. § 5104 and to associate with the electronic claims file evidence determining whether Claim #1951760 was properly paid.
The deciding factor: The Board finds it necessary to remand the matter due to pre-decisional errors in satisfying duties under 38 U.S.C. § 5103A and ensuring adequate notice of the basis for the denial.

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.
