The Board has remanded the case for further development and consideration, including an audit of overpayment amounts and a determination regarding the propriety of the debt. The potential claim of waiver of indebtedness will only be considered if the appellant files a VA Form 9.
The deciding factor: The appeal involves determining whether DIC benefits paid from July 1, 1984 through November 1, 2002 are properly characterized as an overpayment and whether the overpayment was created appropriately. The case is being remanded for further development to ensure all relevant information is considered.

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.
