Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a current medical opinion to determine eligibility for higher-level PCAFC benefits, as the previous decision was found legally inadequate.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to an inadequacy in the April 2024 CEAT medical review and notification letter under 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.
