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 sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
