The deciding factor: The January 2025 Centralized Eligibility and Appeals Team (CEAT) determination is contradicted by the medical evidence, conclusory, and unexplained.

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.
