The Board remands the appeal to obtain the servicemember's personnel records to clarify his periods of service and determine whether the Appellant is entitled to a greater percentage of Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits.
The deciding factor: The record lacks necessary information about the servicemember's service, including attendance at a service academy or any active duty service obligation arising from such attendance, which precludes 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.
