Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's claim for Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits was denied due to his character of discharge. The Board has decided to remand the case as it requires obtaining the Veteran’s military personnel records, including his DD Form 214.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on a lack of information regarding the Veteran's character of discharge from service.

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.
