The Board remands the matter to determine if the Veteran had any periods of active service from June 1, 2022 to October 1, 2022 and whether VA compensation benefits were withheld to recoup concurrently paid benefits.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a pre-decisional duty to assist error in that the RO did not verify the Veteran's actual dates of service during the relevant period.

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.
