The deciding factor: Additional service personnel and DoD records are needed to fully evaluate the appellant’s claim regarding the validity of the overpayment due to the Veteran's discharge from service prior to fulfilling his service obligation.

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.
