The Board found that an overpayment of $1,190 for housing allowance was validly created due to the Veteran's withdrawal from six credit hours during the January 2021 term.
The deciding factor: The overpayment is valid because the Veteran was not legally entitled to the housing allowance benefits for February and March 2021 as he withdrew after the first month of the term, and there was no administrative error by VA in this case.

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.
