The Board remands the matter for a new VA examination to determine whether the Veteran's service-connected disabilities render him in need of regular aid and attendance or are housebound.
The deciding factor: Remand is warranted due to insufficient information regarding the Veteran's current need for aid and attendance or being housebound, as the most recent examination was conducted in 2017 and his condition has since worsened.

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.
