The Board remands the matter to verify the Veteran's period of military service and obtain an audit of his compensation benefits account for the period from November 10, 1999, through March 2002.
The deciding factor: The record does not explain the debt or the amount of any reductions of the debt with total amounts due and paid, leading to ambiguity that needs resolution.

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.
