The Board remands the claim for payment of expenses incurred for transport to a non-VA facility by First Responder EMS on May 14, 2020, due to insufficient evidence and lack of adequate notice.
The deciding factor: Insufficient evidence was provided to determine whether all criteria under 38 U.S.C. § 1725 are met, and the appellant was not properly notified of the basis for the denial.

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.
