The Board remands the claim for service connection for a brain trauma injury, claimed as TBI, due to an error in the August 2019 rating decision and notice letter.
The deciding factor: The AOJ's notice letter failed to inform the Veteran of his right to a hearing before a future decision on a supplemental claim, necessitating a remand for correction.

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.
