Whole decision: Remanded (sent back)

The Veteran's VA disability compensation was reduced due to concurrent receipt of active service drill pay for FY 2015, resulting in an overpayment. The Board notes that a paid and due audit is needed as the RO has not conducted one yet.

The deciding factor: A paid and due audit is required to determine if the reduction in VA compensation benefits was proper for the period of active service drill pay received by the Veteran in FY 2015.

What this means for you

A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.

What you can do next

Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
