The Veteran's claim for a waiver of overpayment is being remanded due to the need to associate the first demand letter with the claims file and obtain proof of his last change in address.
The deciding factor: The initial inquiry into the timeliness of the Veteran's application for a waiver was not resolved as there were no actual demand letters in the claims file, leading to the remand.

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.
