Remanded (sent back)
The Board has determined that the validity of the Veteran's overpayment claim must be addressed before further consideration can be given to his waiver request. The case is therefore being remanded for clarification on whether the debt in question is valid.
The deciding factor: The validity of the Veteran's overpayment claim must be established prior to considering the waiver request.

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.
