The Board has remanded the case due to lack of substantial compliance with previous remand instructions and confusion surrounding the calculation of the total overpayment for a monthly housing allowance.
The deciding factor: There is a need to clarify how VA arrived at calculating the Veteran's monthly housing allowance debt and the current amount of that debt, if any remains.

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.
