The Board remands the issue of whether the withholding of VA disability compensation to recoup separation pay in the after-tax amount of $7,588.24 was proper due to conflicting records regarding the Veteran's receipt of separation pay.
The deciding factor: Conflicting records from the Defense Finance and Accounting System require clarification as to whether the Veteran received separation pay on December 15, 2011.

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.
