The Board remands the issues of increased ratings for CAD and TDIU to provide the Veteran with notice of his right to a predecisional hearing, as required by the January 2025 JMPR.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to an error in not providing the Veteran with notice of his right to a predecisional hearing before the AOJ that had issued the initial decision.

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.
