The Board has determined that the termination of the Veteran's pension benefits, effective October 1, 2014 to October 31, 2015, was proper due to receipt of employment income. The issue of waiver of overpayment is also remanded as it involves a separate statute and regulation.
The deciding factor: The termination of the Veteran's pension benefits was based on his receipt of employment income which exceeded the maximum annual income limit for eligibility for VA veterans pension.

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.
