The Veteran's claim for VA loan guaranty benefits is remanded due to incomplete documentation of his reserve service. The Board requests that the complete military personnel records and pay records from September 1984 to September 1993 be obtained to substantiate his active participation in the required training.
The deciding factor: The claim requires verification of the Veteran's active participation in Reserve service, which is incomplete due to unobtained personnel records and pay 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.
