The Board remands the claim for service connection of breast cancer to correct an error in providing the Veteran with necessary notice of evidence required to substantiate her claim.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the need to provide the Veteran with proper notice regarding the evidence needed to support her claim, as she had not received this statutorily-required information.

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.
