The Veteran's claim for waiver of overpayment due to the removal of his dependent children from his award is remanded. The issue involves whether the debt was validly created and if the Veteran should be given an opportunity to seek a waiver.
The deciding factor: The Board notes that there are inconsistencies in the dates provided regarding the removal of the Veteran's children from his award, and no evidence of notification about concurrent receipt of DEA benefits. The validity of the overpayment debt must be determined first before considering a waiver request.

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.
