The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient information regarding the Veteran's periods of Active Duty Training (ADT) and Inactive Duty Training (IDT). The AOJ is instructed to obtain the necessary records to determine when the Veteran had ADT or IDT service from February 2000 to February 2001.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the current service records do not provide sufficient information regarding the specific dates of participation in Active Duty Training (ADT) and Inactive Duty Training (IDT).

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.
