The Board remands the claim for a pre-decisional duty to assist error based on the rule announced in Veteran Warriors, and to clarify the reasons and bases of the decision.
The deciding factor: The CSP denial note did not meet the criteria outlined in 38 U.S.C. § 5104(b) because it lacked certain required elements, necessitating a remand for clarification and correction.

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.
