The Board has determined that the overpayment of Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) housing benefits was improperly created, and thus remanded for further action to determine the correct amount.
The deciding factor: The creation of the debt was based on a misinterpretation of when the Veteran's apprenticeship began, leading to an overpayment. The Board needs more information to accurately calculate the debt.

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.
