The Board has decided to remand the case due to errors in creating and validating the overpayment of VA compensation benefits, specifically related to concurrent receipt of active duty pay. The AOJ is instructed to verify the Veteran's pay during his period of active duty from May 2018 to January 2022, request documents from the ARBA, and prepare a paid and due audit. They are also reminded to review the validity of the overpayment based on sole administrative error.
The deciding factor: The Board found errors in creating and validating the overpayment of VA compensation benefits related to concurrent receipt of active duty pay and instructed the AOJ to verify the Veteran's pay, request documents from the ARBA, prepare a paid and due audit, and review the validity of the overpayment based on sole administrative error.

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.
