The appeal is remanded to correct errors in the administrative record, including the lack of documentation regarding the Veteran's service connection status and the nature of the ambulance services provided.
The deciding factor: The lack of documentation frustrates any further Board action on the appeal, as there are no records clearly establishing the Veteran's service connection status or the exact nature of the services provided or expenses being claimed.

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.
