The Board of Veterans' Appeals remands the claims for readjudication due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors and missing documentation.
The deciding factor: The Board erred in its September 2023 decision by not providing adequate reasons and bases, and evidence was submitted in August 2019 that may have been overlooked.

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.
