Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's claim for a refund of educational contributions made under the Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) is remanded due to insufficient evidence. The VA needs to obtain his basic pay records from December 1985 to February 1987 to determine if he contributed $1,200 towards the Chapter 30 program.
The deciding factor: Insufficient evidence exists regarding whether the Veteran made a contribution of $1,200 towards the Chapter 30 educational program.

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.
