The Board is remanding the case to obtain the Veteran's DFAS pay history for March 2013 and from September 2013 to December 2013, and to confirm if a prior $1,600 debt was part of the current overpayment calculation.
The deciding factor: The Board needs further information regarding the Veteran’s active duty pay during the specified time periods to accurately determine the overpayment amount.

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.
