The Board remands the claim for a medical opinion to determine whether it is in the best interest of the Veteran to participate in PCAFC, as he requires continuous personal care services and supervision.
The deciding factor: The March 2024 CEAT determination did not address whether participation in PCAFC is in the Veteran's best interest, which constitutes a pre-decisional error requiring remand.

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.
