The Board remands the claim for a medical opinion to determine if the Veteran is in need of personal care services due to an inability to perform activities of daily living, a need for supervision or protection, or a need for regular or extensive instruction or supervision.
The deciding factor: The March 2023 CEAT review failed to address the March 2023 Veteran Functional Assessment Instrument reflecting the Veteran requires some assistance completing activities of daily living including mobility and a need for supervision.

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.
