The Board has remanded the case due to a lack of evidence regarding an overpayment created in January 2019 and whether it should be waived.
The deciding factor: The Board is required to determine if the Veteran was disbursed an upward adjustment based on his dependents during January 2019, which could have resulted in an overpayment. The remand allows for a due and paid audit to clarify this issue.

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.
