The Board denied the challenges to the creation of the overpayment debt and dismissed a claim for a rate of recoupment, while remanding issues related to the validity of the amount of the debt and a waiver claim.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to meet the criteria for a sole administrative error in creating the overpayment, and the Board is without jurisdiction to review terms of any compromise regarding the rate of recoupment.

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.
