The Veteran's appeal is being remanded due to the need for clarification regarding his service participation in the Loan Repayment Program (LRP). The RO will obtain certification from the appropriate service department on whether the Veteran participated in LRP and, if so, the length of his period of service counted for purposes of LRP. Additionally, all service personnel records, including an enlistment contract, should be obtained.
The deciding factor: The need for clarification regarding the Veteran's participation in the Loan Repayment Program (LRP) is required to determine the appropriate educational benefit level under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

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.
What you can do next
Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
