Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for eligibility to benefits under the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) due to a pre-decisional duty to notify error and an inadequate medical decision.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to correct a statutory duty under 38 U.S.C. § 5104 and provide adequate medical determination.

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.
