The Board remands the claim for a medical opinion to determine if the Veteran is in need of personal care services due to an inability to perform activities of daily living or a need for supervision.
The deciding factor: A pre-decisional error was identified in the CEAT review, which failed to address the August 2024 Veteran Functional Assessment Instrument reflecting the Veteran requires some assistance completing activities of daily living including bathing and showering, dressing and undressing, mobility, and a need for supervision.

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.
