The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to clarify if any of the Veteran's Social Security income for his dependent children was SSI, which would impact the validity of the overpayment.

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.
