The Veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of the overpayment of compensation benefits in the amount of $167,572 is considered timely. The Board has remanded this matter to the Committee on Waivers and Compromises for further adjudication.
The deciding factor: The Veteran submitted a request for a waiver of the recovery of the debt that was not received by VA due to error on his part in mailing the request, but the error was due to other circumstances beyond his control.

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.
