Remanded (sent back)
The claim of home loan guaranty benefits is remanded due to unclear dates and length of service. The Veteran's unit needs to provide a verified retirement points summary, and any previous applications for benefits must be sought.
The deciding factor: The dates and length of service are not clear based on the evidence of record.

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.
