The Board finds that the overpayment of $7,629.57 for tuition/fees was properly created due to the Veteran's withdrawal from all 7 credit hours during his August 2016 to November 2016 school term. The appeal is remanded as it appears on the title page and the Board determines that this matter should be recharacterized based on applicable law and facts of the case.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's withdrawal from all 7 credit hours during his August 2016 to November 2016 school term resulted in an overpayment due to the VA payment for tuition/fees being higher than what he was entitled to based on his rate of pursuit.

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.
