The Board remands the claim for payment or reimbursement of non-VA services provided to the Veteran on May 6, 2024, due to a need to associate all records pertaining to the initial claim for reimbursement and whether the Veteran or provider exhausted action to obtain payment or reimbursement from a third party.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to ensure that all relevant evidence is associated with the claims file, particularly regarding the timeliness of the claim for reimbursement and any actions taken by the Veteran or provider to obtain payment from a third party.

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.
