The Board remands the matter to correct a duty to assist error that occurred prior to the AOJ decision on appeal, specifically regarding the Veteran's HISA application and associated documentation.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to missing evidence and to ensure the Veteran has submitted a complete HISA benefits application.

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.
