The Board remands the issue of entitlement to Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) educational assistance benefits due to a pre-decisional error in fulfilling VA's duty to assist regarding the Veteran's obligated period of service.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to clarify with DoD the precise nature of the Veteran's ROTC program and the dates of his obligated period of service.

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.
