The Veteran's claim for eligibility to Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits was remanded due to missing documents and procedural issues. The AOJ needs to associate the original notification letter terminating the benefits with his file, as well as his military personnel and education files.
The deciding factor: Missing documentation prevents a clear determination of why the Veteran's eligibility for Post-9/11 GI Bill education benefits was terminated.

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.
