The Board remands the matter of whether the retroactive termination of payment of additional Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) compensation benefits was proper due to a potential failure to provide necessary due process.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the presumption of regularity in the mailing of the April 2022 due process letter has been rebutted and remands for correction of this error, which may have a reasonable possibility of aiding in substantiating the claim.

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.
