The Board has determined that the overpayment of educational assistance benefits under Chapter 33 in the amount of $2,181.00 for a monthly housing allowance was valid and must be denied as a matter of law due to the Veteran's receipt of benefits while on active duty. The claim is being remanded to allow for consideration of a waiver of recovery.
The deciding factor: The overpayment was not due to sole administrative error, but rather because the Veteran received benefits during his period of active duty service.

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.
What you can do next
