Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter to correct a duty to assist error that occurred prior to the March 2023 administrative decision on appeal, specifically regarding the calculation of the overpayment and whether a waiver is warranted.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's deployment during the spring 2020 term is considered as a mitigating circumstance for the overpayment debt.

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.
