The Board remands the claim for an Aid and Attendance examination to determine if the Veteran's service-connected disabilities render him in need of regular aid and attendance.
The deciding factor: A pre-decisional duty to assist error requires correction as there is evidence suggesting the Veteran may be rendered in need of aid and attendance due to his service-connected disabilities, but insufficient information exists to adjudicate the claim at this time.

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.
