The Board has determined that additional development is required to properly adjudicate the overpayment of VA Chapter 30 educational assistance benefits. This includes verifying whether the veteran received a grade for a specific course, assessing if his repetition of courses qualifies as 'refresher courses,' and determining if he qualified for 'full time' enrollment.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there are factual questions regarding the creation of the overpayment, including verification of grades and eligibility for benefits.

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.
