The Board remands the claim for further evaluation of whether participation in the PCAFC is in the Veteran's best interest, as the December 2024 CEAT review was found to be legally inadequate.
The deciding factor: The December 2024 Centralized Eligibility and Appeals Team (CEAT) consultation did not provide sufficient rationale for its decision, making it inadequate for adjudication purposes.

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.
