The Board has determined that the Veteran's active duty service periods are unclear and may not be qualifying for Post-9/11 GI Bill educational assistance benefits. The case is being remanded to obtain the Veteran's personnel records and seek clarification from the Department of Defense regarding the nature of his service.
The deciding factor: The record is unclear as to whether the Veteran's active duty periods were qualifying for educational assistance benefits due to lack of personnel records and insufficient information about the purpose of the service.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
What you can do next
Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
