The Board has determined that the Veteran's request for waiver of recovery of overpayment of non-service-connected pension benefits in the amount of $11,470.00 was timely due to a notice error by VA and remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: VA failed to provide proper notice regarding the creation of the $11,470.00 overpayment debt, which caused the Veteran's request to be considered timely.

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.
