Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's overpayment debt is due to a retroactive removal of his former spouse from his compensation benefit award. The Board acknowledges the Veteran’s contentions and finds he should be given an opportunity to submit updated financial information.
The deciding factor: The Veteran provided outdated financial information, which may have affected the decision on recovery of the overpayment debt.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.
