The Veteran's claim for Chapter 1606 educational assistance benefits is being remanded due to the need for clarification regarding his eligibility period and whether he needed to apply within the 14-year period or attend school within that period.
The deciding factor: Clarification is required from the Armed Forces division on the Veteran's eligibility period, including consideration of the second period of active duty service and any extension of the 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.
