Remanded (sent back)
The Board has found that the issue of whether the overpayment of compensation benefits in the amount of $15,750.00 due to an apportionment award was properly created must be addressed before considering the waiver claim.
The deciding factor: The Veteran raised a challenge to the validity of the overpayment debt and contended that VA was at fault for creating the debt.

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.
