The Board remands the appeal concerning eligibility for PCAFC due to an inadequate review and the need for additional evidence regarding whether it is in the best interest of the Veteran to participate in the program.
The deciding factor: The September 2021 CEAT review consultation was found to be insufficient, as it did not fully consider the findings of the August 2021 VFAI and failed to provide an adequate rationale for determining whether participation in PCAFC is in the Veteran's best interest.

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.
