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 sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
