The Veteran's pension benefits were terminated due to his incarceration and felony conviction, resulting in an overpayment of $5,440.00. The Board has ordered a remand for an accounting/audit of the time periods and payments issued to the Veteran.
The deciding factor: An accounting/audit is needed to determine the correct amount of benefits that were overpaid due to discrepancies in the time periods and payment amounts used to calculate the overpayment amount.

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.
