Remanded (sent back)

The Board remands the matter to determine the actual number of drill days performed and paid to the Veteran in FY 2011 and FY 2012, confirm if the Veteran was paid for those days, and adjudicate whether the overpayment at issue was properly created.

The deciding factor: The record is unclear regarding the exact amount of debt owed due to discrepancies in reported drill days, necessitating further development.

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.
