The Board remands the claims for special home adaptation (SHA) and specially adapted housing (SAH) benefits due to a pre-decisional error that occurred prior to issuance of the June 2024 rating decision, specifically not considering whether entitlement to a TDIU is warranted.
The deciding factor: The Board finds it constitutes pre-decisional error for the AOJ to have not considered whether entitlement to a TDIU is warranted as this would possibly entitle the Veteran to meeting the first element of a claim for SAH benefits.

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.
