The Board has ordered the case to be remanded due to non-compliance with previous remand directives regarding the validity of overpayment creation and waiver of recovery. The AOJ must ensure compliance with all notice and assistance requirements, address the Veteran's contentions, and adjudicate both issues before readjudicating them.
The deciding factor: The case was previously remanded but did not fully comply with the previous directives regarding the validity of overpayment creation and waiver of recovery.

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.
