The veteran's request for a waiver of loan guaranty indebtedness was denied because it was not filed within one year after notification. The Board has ordered the Regional Office to obtain missing documentation and reevaluate the timeliness issue.
The deciding factor: The denial was based on the failure to file the request within the statutory time limit.

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.
