Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for eligibility to enroll in the Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers (PCAFC) due to errors in the AOJ's decision and notice, requiring a medical opinion from CEAT and proper consideration under the correct legal criteria.
The deciding factor: The AOJ's decision was based on invalid legal criteria and did not provide adequate notice as required by law.

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.
