The Board remands the appeal concerning eligibility for PCAFC due to errors in the April 2021 CEAT consultation and a lack of an opinion on whether participation is in the Veteran's best interest.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on errors in the previous determination and the need for additional evidence regarding the Veteran's best interest in participating in the PCAFC program.

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.
