The Veteran's claim for Post 9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) education benefits was denied because he did not have the required minimum amount of active service. The Board has decided to remand the case due to incomplete information from the Department of Defense regarding the nature and type of service during a specific period.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on an incomplete response from the Department of Defense regarding the Veteran's active service, specifically the training periods that are relevant for Chapter 33 benefits eligibility.

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.
