The Veteran's compensation benefits were reduced due to drill days completed in FY 2017, leading to overpayments. The VA incorrectly assessed and recouped multiple debt amounts, which the Board now requires a formal adjudication to determine if they are valid.
The deciding factor: VA improperly created and recouped multiple overpayment debts without proper audit or due process.

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.
