The Board remands the matter to correct a pre-decisional error regarding an overpayment of educational assistance benefits under Chapter 33, Title 38, United States Code (Post-9/11 GI Bill).
The deciding factor: The October 2020 notification letter did not satisfy the requirements for notice as it lacked clear identification of the nature of the change and the legal, factual, and mathematical basis for the overpayment.

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.
