The Board remands the issue of eligibility for benefits under the PCAFC due to an approximate balance of evidence regarding whether the Veteran required personal care services for a minimum of six continuous months due to an inability to perform the ADL of dressing or undressing oneself.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran required personal care services for a minimum of six continuous months due to an inability to perform the ADL of dressing or undressing oneself, and a remand is warranted to satisfy a regulatory duty.

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.
