The Veteran's claim for Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) education benefits was denied due to insufficient active service. The decision is remanded to obtain her complete military personnel records and service treatment records, including any Air National Guard service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran may have additional active service with the Air National Guard that could meet the minimum service requirement for Chapter 33 education benefits.

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.
