Remanded (sent back)
The Board has decided that the overpayment of VRAP benefits in the amount of $2,581.87 was improperly created due to administrative error and is remanding this issue for further action. The waiver of recovery of this overpayment will also be remanded as it is inextricably intertwined with the creation of the debt.
The deciding factor: The validity of the overpayment must be determined before considering a waiver of the overpayment.

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.
