The Board has remanded the case to issue a Supplemental Statement of the Case (SSOC) addressing the Veteran's request for waiver of recovery of VA disability compensation benefits in the amount of $10,397.83.
The deciding factor: The February 2014 remand directed the Agency of Original Jurisdiction (AOJ) to readjudicate entitlement to waiver of recovery of the debt after the issue of whether the debt was properly created was resolved. A February 2019 Supplemental Statement of the Case (SSOC) addressed the issue of whether the debt was validly created but did not readjudicate the Veteran’s request for waiver.

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.
