The Board has decided to remand the case due to insufficient information regarding the Veteran's drill pay and VA compensation during fiscal years 2001, 2002, 2004, and 2008. The AOJ is instructed to obtain verification of the Veteran’s drill days and pay, conduct an audit of her VA compensation account, and provide notification for a waiver of overpayment.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was insufficient information regarding the Veteran's drill pay and VA compensation during the specified fiscal years, which led to the remand.

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.
