The Board has determined that additional development of the evidence is required to properly address the Veteran's request for waiver of recovery of overpayment of nonservice-connected disability pension benefits. Specifically, a paid and due audit of the Veteran's pension account since October 2004 needs to be produced, followed by an updated Financial Status Report (FSR) from the Veteran. The Committee should then determine whether the debt is valid and properly created, including consideration of whether it was the result of sole administrative error by VA. If any portion of the overpayment remains unpaid after these determinations, a formal decision on waiver will be issued.
The deciding factor: The validity of the overpayment must first be determined before considering the issue of waiver due to equity and good conscience.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
