The deciding factor: Insufficient information regarding the Veteran's use of Chapter 1606 benefits and how overpayments were calculated necessitates further development.

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.
