The Board has determined that the debt resulting from an overpayment of nonservice-connected pension benefits needs to be reviewed due to potential miscalculation. The veteran's employment status for years 2002, 2003, and 2004 is unclear and requires further investigation.
The deciding factor: The amount of the debt may have been improperly calculated due to uncertainty regarding the veteran's employment status in certain years.

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.
