The Board remands the claim for a refund of a VA funding fee to obtain additional records and readjudicate the decision with consideration that the Veteran was still on active duty and receiving service pay at the time of the closing of his home loan.

The deciding factor: The record does not have the administrative decision from March 2023, and the DD-214 certificate is missing; thus, a remand is necessary to obtain these records for proper adjudication.
