The Board granted challenges to the propriety of the creation of an overpayment arising from the Veteran's receipt of an upward adjustment based on N.G.W. as his dependent minor stepchild during a specific period, but remanded issues related to the period after June 1, 2020.
The deciding factor: The separation agreement was silent regarding the Veteran's financial support and living arrangements for N.G.W. post-separation, necessitating further development of the record.

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.
