The Board remands the claims for payment or reimbursement of medical services provided by Windom Area Health on October 6, 2018, due to missing records and unclear filing timelines.
The deciding factor: Further development is required to obtain necessary non-VA treatment records and clarify whether the claim should be evaluated under 38 U.S.C. § 1725 or 38 U.S.C. § 1728.

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.
