The Board denied challenges to the creation and amount of overpayments arising from the Veteran's two returns to active duty, but remanded for recalculation of the debt based on a temporary timeliness instruction (TTI) issued by the Veterans Benefits Administration.
The deciding factor: The Veteran contributed to the creation of his second overpayment and was aware that he was receiving benefits in error, thus denying challenges to its propriety. The amount of the second overpayment will be recalculated based on a TTI issued by the VA.

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.
