The deciding factor: The May 2021 decision letter did not provide adequate notice of the basis for denial, failing to meet the criteria outlined in 38 U.S.C. § 5104(b).

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.
