The Veteran disagrees with the creation of an overpayment in the amount of $7,008.60 in MGIB education assistance benefits due to a four week extension that reduced his equivalent credit hours from half-time training to less than half-time training. The case is being remanded for further development and consideration.
The deciding factor: The determination was based on an incorrect interpretation of the regulations regarding equivalent credit hours and their classification as either half-time or less than half-time training.

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.
