The Board has remanded the case for additional development, including obtaining a copy of the October 1, 2003 decision and letter denying retroactive induction for VA vocational training and rehabilitation services. The veteran's claim for current entitlement to VA vocational training and rehabilitation services must also be reconsidered.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was insufficient information in the claims file regarding the denial of retroactive induction for VA vocational training and rehabilitation services, necessitating further investigation and consideration.

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.
