Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the appeal concerning eligibility for PCAFC to the AOJ for further development, including obtaining an opinion on whether it is in the best interest of the Veteran to participate in the program and providing complete notice as required by law.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on errors in the initial denial that need correction before a final determination can be made.

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.
