The Board remands the matter for the AOJ to adjudicate the appellant's eligibility for payment of the cost of the ambulance services provided to the Veteran from September 23, 2019, to September 24, 2019.
The deciding factor: The record is unclear whether the Veteran had received VA medical services in the 24 months preceding the ambulance services provided in September 2019, and additional information is needed to determine eligibility for payment under 38 U.S.C. § 1725.

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.
