The Board has decided to remand the case due to unclear calculation of overpayment and potential administrative error in concurrent receipt of DEA and Chapter 35 benefits. The Veteran's appeal is related to whether the removal of his child from his VA compensation award was proper.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need for a paid and due audit to clarify if B. received benefits under Chapter 33, rather than Chapter 35, including for the period of August 2014 through December 2014.

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.
