The Board remands the case to provide the Veteran with notice of his right to a pre-decisional hearing and to readjudicate the claim.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to an error by the agency of original jurisdiction in satisfying its duty to provide the Veteran with notice of his right to a pre-decisional hearing.

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.
