The Veteran's overpayment of VA disability compensation benefits is due to concurrent receipt of active service pay for 60 drill days in FY 2015. The Board has ordered a remand to confirm the number of drill days completed by the Veteran during that year.
The deciding factor: The evidence indicates the Veteran may not have been paid for 60 drill days in FY 2015, and further investigation is needed to determine the correct number of days she received active service pay.

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.
