Remanded (sent back)

The Board has decided to remand the case due to issues with the validity of the overpayment debt, specifically regarding receipt of military training pay and VA compensation benefits. The Veteran is asked to provide copies of completed VA Forms 21-8951 for FYs 2011 and 2012, and an audit will be prepared to determine the validity of the debt.

The deciding factor: The Board found issues with the validity of the overpayment debt due to discrepancies in information provided by the Veteran regarding receipt of military training pay and VA compensation benefits.

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.
