The claim was denied because the veteran did not attend all required classes at Ramon Magsaysay Technological University (RMTU) for the period from June 4, 2001 to April 4, 2003. The VA Office of Inspector General determined that fraud was committed by veterans attending RMTU resulting in losses to the VA of approximately $1.3 million. The claim is being remanded due to lack of documentation regarding participation in fraudulent activities.
The deciding factor: The veteran's participation in fraudulent activities at Ramon Magsaysay Technological University (RMTU) has not been confirmed, and therefore the validity of the overpayment must be re-evaluated.

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.
