The Board has decided to remand the case due to insufficient notice provided in the original decision regarding the basis for the denial of the claim for payment or reimbursement of non-VA medical expenses incurred on March 9, 2020. The Veteran was not informed about which statutory provision (38 U.S.C. § 1703, 1725, or 1728) the claim was evaluated under.
The deciding factor: The decision lacked adequate notice of the basis for the denial and did not provide a summary of applicable laws and regulations, identifying any favorable findings, or explaining how to obtain or access evidence used in making the decision.

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.
