The Veteran's claims for educational benefits under Chapter 1606 and/or Chapter 1607 were previously denied due to her eligibility being terminated. The Board is remanding the case to verify her service periods and character of discharge, as there is a discrepancy between the Army record and VA records.
The deciding factor: The discrepancies in the Veteran's service records require verification before making a decision on her claims for educational benefits under Chapter 1606 and/or Chapter 1607.

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.
