The Board remands the claim for educational benefits under Chapter 1606, Title 10, United States Code (Montgomery GI Bill for Selected Reserves or MGIB-SR) to obtain additional evidence regarding the Veteran's completion of Initial Active Duty for Training.
The deciding factor: The AOJ committed a pre-decisional duty to assist error by not obtaining clarification on whether the Veteran completed IADT, and this must be addressed before a decision can be made.

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.
