The Board has determined that the case should be returned to the RO for a full audit of the Veteran's account, including military retirement benefits received during the period under appeal and consideration of concurrent receipt of military retirement pay and VA disability benefits pay. The Veteran will also receive notice on the laws and regulations governing overpayment creation and waiver.
The deciding factor: The Board cannot determine from the record whether the RO's reasoning is correct regarding the proper creation of the debt or its validity, as there are inconsistencies in the evidence provided by the RO.

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.
