The Board has decided to remand the case for further action, including an audit of the appellant's improved death pension account and a request for clarification on her income sources during the period from January 1998 through January 2002.
The deciding factor: The overpayment at issue is based on the appellant's unreported income in 1998, which was used to create part of the overpayment. The Board finds that there are questions about the exact amount and sources of her income during this period.

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.
