The Board is remanding the case to obtain additional records related to the Veteran's active service pay during FY 2016 and to clarify his belief about not having 29 days of drill in that year.
The deciding factor: Additional evidence is needed to determine if the Veteran received active service pay during FY 2016 and to verify his claim regarding the number of days he did not have drill pay.

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.
