The deciding factor: The Board does not have jurisdiction to adjudicate the merits of the motion for revision based on clear and unmistakable error because there is no final decision for review.

What this means for you
A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot. It says more about procedure than about whether a claim like this can win.

- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has determined that the Veteran's eligibility for a Level 2 stipend under VA's PCAFC is in dispute due to insufficient medical review regarding his need for supervision, protection or instruction on a continuous basis. The case is being remanded for further evaluation.
- Denied
The VA correctly calculated and paid retroactive compensation benefits to the Veteran for the period from May 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025. The appeal is denied as additional retroactive VA compensation is not warranted.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has determined that the issue on appeal should be characterized as entitlement to additional dependency compensation for P. J. C., the Veteran's minor child, and has found a pre-decisional duty to assist error in not including information or evidence from SSA regarding the disputed SSN provided by the Veteran.
- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's challenges to the creation and validity of her overpayment debt. The overpayment was found to be properly created, but the amount was recalculated based on a one-year period from October 2, 2019, to October 31, 2020. The waiver claim for recoupment of the overpayment was denied due to fault of both parties and potential financial hardship.
