The Board remands the matter to perform a paid and due audit of VA compensation benefits owed since January 2006, with specific emphasis on benefits owed since December 7, 2021.
The deciding factor: The AOJ committed a pre-decisional duty to assist error by not obtaining clarification on the total amount of compensation benefits owed to the Veteran after his full disability benefits were reinstated following his period of incarceration in 2006.

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.
