The Board has decided that the Veteran's overpayment of Chapter 30 educational benefits is valid, but needs to be corrected by accounting for retroactive Chapter 33 benefits he should have received.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a lack of clear accounting of retroactive Chapter 33 benefits and their impact on the reported overpayment of Chapter 30 benefits.

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.
