The Board remands the claim for further development, including verification of the Veteran's period of service from August 2005 to February 2006 and recalculation of the rate of payment in accordance with changes made by the Forever GI Bill.
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to ensure that DoD provided specific information needed regarding the Veteran's period of service, and did not consider all evidence of record or whether the Veteran may be entitled to a higher rate of payment based on alternative evidence.

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.
