The Board has decided to remand the case due to incomplete records and procedural issues related to the overpayment of housing allowance. The Veteran's challenges include determining if the overpayment was created properly, as well as whether the amount is valid.
The deciding factor: The decision requires additional information and review regarding the period underlying the creation of the overpayment and its calculation, including any applicable upward locality adjustments.

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.
