The Board remands the claim for additional evidence regarding the Veteran's request to switch education assistance benefits from the Montgomery GI Bill to the Post-9/11 Bill.
The deciding factor: The record does not show an irrevocable election by the Veteran to receive benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill, and the Board needs additional documentation for a complete adjudication of the claim.

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.
