The Veteran's appeal involves the creation and waiver of an overpayment of VA improved pension benefits in the amount of $13,635.40. The case is being remanded to address whether this overpayment was properly created.
The deciding factor: The issue of whether the overpayment was properly created is intertwined with the Veteran's entitlement to waiver of recovery and requires a statement of the case addressing both issues.

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.
