The Board remands the claim for a pre-decisional duty to assist error based on the precedential decision of Veteran Warriors and an inadequate medical determination.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to errors in the notice provided and an inadequate medical opinion, which do not meet the statutory requirements under 38 U.S.C. § 5104 and 38 C.F.R. § 20.802(a).

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.
