Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's overpayment claim is being remanded due to the need for further review by the Committee on Waivers and Compromises regarding the validity of the debt and whether a waiver should be granted.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the validity of the overpayment, which requires referral to the Committee on Waivers and Compromises.

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.
