The deciding factor: There is confusion in the record regarding the Veteran’s training days and/or drill pay days in 2009, necessitating further investigation.

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.
