Remanded (sent back)
The Board is remanding the claim to reconcile the number of drill days for the Veteran in FYs 2020 and 2021 and recalculate the debt.
The deciding factor: Failing to reconcile the number of drill days with military records was predecisional error, as the AOJ did not attempt to obtain information regarding the Veteran's pay from him via his Leave and Earnings Statements (LESs) or from the Defense Finance Accounting Service (DFAS).
