Sarah J. Gantt appeals, through counsel, a September 30, 1999, Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) decision that determined that under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 (1995), the amount of her judgment under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), 28 U.S.C. § 1346, 2671-80, should be offset against her Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC). The Court has jurisdiction over the case under 38 U.S.C. §§ 7252(a) and 7266(a). For the following reasons, the Court will vacate in part the Board’s decision and remand two matters.
