My claim for EFD was denied at the BVA level and then appeal to the CAVC. The CAVC, under a joint motion, remanded it back to the BVA. The BVA then denied again for a reason that was not in the file and something that we have not seen before. (I will upload the BVA denial letter tomorrow.)
So, the question is can the BVA deny, deny, deny and then when the file comes back on remand, deny for a completely different reason than what they were ask to look at on the remand? By the way, the reason for the latest denial ahs NEVER been mentioned before.

The language in the remand to the BVA is critical. If the Court sends the case back to the BVA for "further development" this opens the door for the VA to introduce other reasons / bases to deny the

Well, yes. Remember, the board has to give an "adequate reasons and bases" for denial. So, your attorney appeals to the cavc, and "wins" a remand. The cavc is not orde
