The Board granted the Veteran's request for a waiver of recovery of an overpayment of VA compensation benefits in the amount of $35,529.28 due to a delay in receipt of the notice of indebtedness beyond the time customarily required for mailing.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was a delay in the Veteran's receipt of the notice of indebtedness due to VA error or other circumstances beyond his control, making his waiver request timely.

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.
