The Veteran's claim for education benefits under the Montgomery GI Bill-Selected Reserves (Chapter 1606) is remanded due to unclear eligibility based on her reenlistment status and period of obligated service.
The deciding factor: Eligibility for Chapter 1606 benefits depends on factors not fully resolved, including whether the Veteran's reenlistment qualifies as a Reserve for service in the Selected Reserve with at least six years of obligated service.

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.
