The Board concluded that the appellant was improperly paid VA disability pension benefits from February 1, 1998 through March 1, 2000, because of the concurrent receipt of disqualifying income, resulting in a validly created overpayment indebtedness of $15,688.00.
The deciding factor: The failure to report income received during that time period caused the appellant's pension overpayment debt to be properly created and calculated.

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.
