The Veteran's claim for additional VA educational assistance benefits under Chapter 30 and/or Chapter 33 is remanded due to the need for further development of his service records, including those from his period of active-duty service in September 2009. The record also needs to be updated with any notice letters or documents related to the transfer of his remaining MGIB benefits.
The deciding factor: The claim requires additional evidence regarding the Veteran's service records and the details surrounding the transfer of his remaining MGIB benefits, which may affect his entitlement to educational assistance under Chapter 30 and/or Chapter 33.

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.
