Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's pension benefits were reinstated effective December 15, 2011. However, there is an ongoing dispute about the validity of a past-due overpayment of $11,753. The Board has decided to remand this issue for further review.
The deciding factor: The agency of original jurisdiction has yet to act on the Veteran’s pending appeal of the overpayment issue.

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.
