The Board remands the matter for the AOJ to provide the Veteran with notice of his right to a hearing before the AOJ and then readjudicate the claim based on the record.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to an error by the AOJ in failing to inform the Veteran of his pre-decisional right to a hearing prior to the issuance of the December 2019 rating decision.

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.
