Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded two issues: whether the debt in the amount of $7,591.62 was validly created and the Veteran's request for a waiver concerning the overpayment created by the removal of his former spouse from his VA disability compensation award.
The deciding factor: Both issues are dependent on different facts and laws and require further action to determine their validity.

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.
