The Board has decided that there was an overpayment of $899.03 for FY 2016 drill pay and has ordered the AOJ to obtain additional documents related to this issue before making a decision.
The deciding factor: The AOJ did not have all necessary documentation, including debt management center letters and DFAS leave and earnings statements, which were required by previous remand directives.

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.
