The Board remands the claim for proper notice and an opinion on whether it is in the best interest of the Veteran to participate in the PCAFC program.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to errors in satisfying regulatory or statutory duties that would have a reasonable possibility of aiding in substantiating the claim, specifically regarding notification requirements under 38 U.S.C. § 5104 and an opinion on whether participation in the PCAFC is in the Veteran's best interest.

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.
