The Board has decided that the overpayment of VA compensation benefits was improperly created due to a change in dependents status, and thus remanded for further action.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the Veteran's testimony regarding his children being erroneously removed from his award prior to their 18th birthdays.

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.
