The Board has decided to remand the case for further development, including obtaining DFAS records and resolving contradictions in the Veteran's DD Form 214. The debt related issues are also being remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision is remanded due to ongoing efforts to verify the Veteran's service periods and resolve inconsistencies in his military records.

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.
