The Board has determined that further action is needed to determine the creation and calculation of the Veteran's overpayment debt, as well as whether the waiver request was timely filed. The case will be remanded for these determinations.
The deciding factor: Further review of the evidence of record is required to determine how the overpayment was created and calculated, including any missing documents such as letters from the DMC and income verification information. Additionally, the timeliness of the waiver request must be determined.

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.
