The Board has determined that additional clarification of the record is required, including a paid-and-due audit to ascertain the adjusted overpayment amount and how it was calculated. The veteran's pension benefits were terminated due to excessive income for the years 1995 to 1997, which included receipt of $61,276.55 in July 1996. This decision also requires that the claim for waiver of the overpayment be adjudicated.
The deciding factor: The Board found an incomplete appellate record and required additional development including a paid-and-due audit to determine the adjusted overpayment amount.

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.
