The Board remands the matter to obtain an opinion as to whether it is in the best interest of the Veteran to participate in the PCAFC program and to provide the Veteran with complete notice of the decision on his claim.
The deciding factor: The January 2021 CEAT Review Consult did not sufficiently address whether the Veteran's participation in the PCAFC is in his best interest, which is a required step before a final determination on PCAFC eligibility may be issued.

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.
