The appellant is seeking an extension of the delimiting date for education assistance benefits under Chapter 30, Title 38, United States Code (Montgomery GI Bill).

The case is REMANDED for further development and readjudication.
The deciding factor: The appellant's claim requires additional evidence regarding his physical and mental disabilities that prevented him from initiating or completing his chosen program of education.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
