Remanded (sent back)
The Board has not received a Financial Status Report (FSR) from the Veteran, which is required to determine if he can afford to repay the overpayment. The case is being remanded to obtain this information.
The deciding factor: The VA needs to ensure that the Veteran's financial status during the repayment period is accurately assessed.

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.
