Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for additional development, including a new Financial Status Report to be completed and signed by the Appellant. The waiver claim will then be forwarded to the Committee on Waivers and Compromises (COWC) for further consideration.
The deciding factor: A pre-decisional duty to assist error has occurred due to VA's failure to consider the full merits of the Appellant's financial hardship claims, necessitating a remand for additional development.
