Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new medical opinion to adequately address the criteria for eligibility for PCAFC benefits as set forth in 38 C.F.R. § 1720G(a)(2)(C).
The deciding factor: The CEAT's July 2021 review is legally inadequate and does not meet the requirements of a medical opinion.

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.
