The appeal for the validity of an overpayment in the amount of $19,815.03 for educational assistance benefits under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 33 (Post-9/11 GI Bill) was denied; a remand is required to address the issue of entitlement to waiver of this overpayment.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's participation in OTJ training from July 12, 2015, through February 2016, was not approved by the State approving agency (SAA), and she received educational assistance benefits to which she was not legally entitled.

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.
