The Board has determined that further development is required to determine the proper creation of the overpayment and whether the veteran's pension benefits were properly terminated. The case is REMANDED for these actions.
The deciding factor: Further development regarding the creation of the debt and the termination of pension benefits is necessary as it affects the veteran's request for waiver of recovery of the overpayment.

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.

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has determined that the claim is remanded due to missing procedural documents and a need for a medical opinion regarding the date of transfer to a VA facility based on medical stability. The case will be returned to the AOJ for further action.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities alone did not render her in need of regular aid and attendance or housebound status. The case is remanded for a VA medical opinion to determine if the Veteran needs aid and attendance, and whether she qualifies as housebound.
- Granted
The Board granted the Veteran's claim for retroactive CRDP from January 31, 2018 in the amount of $79,239.89 due to concurrent receipt of VA compensation and pension, as the Veteran met the criteria for concurrent payment of military retired pay and VA disability compensation.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's compensation benefits were reduced due to drill days completed in FY 2017, leading to overpayments. The VA incorrectly assessed and recouped multiple debt amounts, which the Board now requires a formal adjudication to determine if they are valid.
