The Board has decided that the reduction of VA compensation benefits due to concurrent receipt of military drill pay for FY 2012 was improper and has ordered additional development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran provided evidence showing she had only 32 days of drill in FY 2012, which is less than the originally reported 68 days. The RO will prepare an audit of her VA compensation account with consideration of these verified drill days and pay received.

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.
