The Board remands the Veteran's appeal regarding school debt due to a pre-decisional error in not finding an August 2023 decision on record.
The deciding factor: The lack of a clear and complete record from the AOJ necessitates a remand for correction of any errors that could aid in substantiating 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.
