The Board remands the Veteran's claim for reentrance into the VR&E program due to an inadequate evaluation report from the VRC.
The deciding factor: The VRC's January 2024 evaluation report is found to be inadequate as it did not provide a comprehensive review of the Veteran's service-connected and nonservice-connected disabilities, nor explain why the increase in severity of his PTSD and GERD symptoms did not result in any functional impairment.

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.
