The Board remands the matter to ensure that the Veteran's complete loan guaranty file has been obtained and associated with the claims file prior to adjudication on the merits.
The deciding factor: Insufficient documentation in the claims file regarding the length and nature of the Veteran's Reserve service, and lack of a complete copy of all records related to the instant application for basic eligibility for VA loan guaranty benefits.

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.
