The Board is remanding the case to allow for a statement of the case on whether an apportionment was properly created and calculated, as well as to adjudicate whether the veteran's overpayment debt was properly created and calculated. The veteran will have the opportunity to perfect appeals on these issues.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the appropriate action is to remand so that the RO may issue a statement of the case on the creation and calculation of the apportionment, and adjudicate whether the overpayment debt was properly created and calculated.

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.
