The Board denied the challenges to the creation and amount of an overpayment arising from the Appellant's failure to notify VA of receipt of Social Security Administration (SSA) benefits, but remanded the claims for further review.
The deciding factor: The Appellant failed to meet both prongs of the sole administrative error test, as she knew or should have known about her duty to report SSA benefits and was overpaid due to her failure to do so.

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.
