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 sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
