The veteran is requesting a waiver for overpayment of Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) under 38 U.S.C.A., Chapter 35. The case is being remanded because the AOJ needs to obtain and associate the veteran's daughter's educational file with the claims file.
The deciding factor: The claim requires additional information from the veteran's daughter's file for proper adjudication.

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.
