The Veteran's overpayment debt is due to concurrent receipt of disability compensation benefits and active service pay from December 1, 2016. The Board found the documents insufficient to determine the correct number of drill days and requested military pay records for FY 2017.
The deciding factor: The Board could not determine the correct number of drill days due to insufficient documentation.

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.
