The Board has decided to remand the case due to missing documents and will provide a new SOC on whether an overpayment of VA pension benefits in the amount of $16,968.00 was properly created.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need for additional development as the February 27, 2015, SOC is missing and needs to be associated with the record or provided if not available.

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.
