The Board has determined that the Veteran is not eligible for Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits due to having used more than 48 months of education benefits under multiple VA programs. The decision is remanded to apply a more favorable interpretation of the '48-month rule' and reassess eligibility.
The deciding factor: The Board found that applying the more favorable interpretation of the '48-month rule' could potentially increase the Veteran's eligibility for Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits, but this requires re-evaluation based on a new accounting of all education benefits used.

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.
