The Board has decided to remand the case due to incomplete consideration of the overpayment created from FY 2008 drill days and FY 2014 active duty days. The AOJ needs to perform a paid and due audit detailing how the debt was created, including the portion due to FY 2008 drill days, the portion due to FY 2014 active duty days, and the portion of FY 2014 drill days not subsumed by active duty days. The Committee should also reconsider the waiver request if applicable.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the AOJ did not address the creation of the debt from FY 2008 drill days and the consideration of the debt created from FY 2014 active duty days was incomplete.

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.
