The Board has remanded the case due to inconsistencies in the record and incomplete audit, requiring a paid and due audit for FY years 2008, 2011-2015 excluding FYs prior to 2008 and from 2009-2010. The Veteran and his representative were not provided with a supplemental statement of the case.
The deciding factor: The audit was not exclusive to the periods indicated and did not clearly indicate if the overpayment for FY 2008 was previously collected as indicated in the January 22, 2010 letter for 65 drill days.

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.
