The Board has determined that the claim requires additional development and remands it for further action, including obtaining a proper VCAA notice, locating outstanding documents related to the appellant's claim, providing an audit of her account, obtaining a current financial status report, and re-adjudicating the issue.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that there are gaps in the record regarding the creation of the overpayment and the validity of the debt. Therefore, further development is needed to ensure all relevant information is considered.

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.
