Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter to adjudicate whether the overpayment debt was properly created and, if valid, to refer the Veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of the overpayment to the Committee on Waivers and Compromises.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to unaddressed contentions regarding the validity of the debt and proper notification procedures.

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.
