The Veteran's service personnel records, DOD records, payment history records, and communications between VA Regional Office and DOD regarding the transfer of education benefits need to be obtained and associated with the claims file.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the case needed to be remanded due to incomplete development and failure to readjudicate the claim.

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.
