The Board remands the issue of whether the withholding of VA compensation benefits for 339 training days during FY 2021 was proper due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The AOJ did not obtain ADT orders from October 2020 and clarification on the number of training days performed by the Veteran in FY 2021, leading to a remand for further evidence collection.

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.
