Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to ensure that VA has fulfilled its duty to assist by informing the Veteran of evidence helpful to his claim and providing the requested audit to ensure that the amount of overpayment was calculated correctly.
The deciding factor: The RO's failure to consider recent policy changes cannot constitute a pre-decisional duty to assist error, but a remand is necessary for such action as it may aid in substantiating the Veteran's claim.
