The Board has ordered the case to be remanded due to incomplete consideration of the Veteran's offer to compromise the debt and because the SSOC did not address the validity of the debt. The AOJ is instructed to consider the Veteran’s offer to compromise the debt at $12,352.60 and issue a supplemental statement of the case addressing both the validity of the debt and waiver of overpayment.
The deciding factor: The remand was ordered due to incomplete consideration of the Veteran's offer to compromise the debt and because the SSOC did not address the validity of 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.
