Remanded (sent back)
The appeal is remanded to ensure the record is complete, provide legally adequate notice of decisions, and obtain a medical opinion from the Centralized Eligibility and Appeals Team (CEAT) regarding eligibility for benefits under VA's Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to an incomplete file, inadequate notification, and an inadequately supported medical decision by the CEAT.

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.
