Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to correct a duty to assist error related to the calculation of an overpayment debt and whether mitigating circumstances were considered.
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to properly notify the Veteran of how the specific overpayment amount was calculated and whether the provisions for mitigating circumstances under 38 C.F.R. § 21.9635(b) were considered.
