The deciding factor: The absence of proper notice regarding the creation and calculation of the debt constitutes a pre-decisional duty to assist error, necessitating a remand for correction.

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.
