The Board remands the case to verify the appellant's eligibility for Chapter 1606 educational assistance benefits as of January 24, 2007.
The deciding factor: DoD has not re-established the appellant's eligibility under this program due to a break in active drilling status for more than one year after his separation from the Selected Reserves.

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.
