The Board has decided to remand the case for further investigation and adjudication regarding whether an overpayment of VA compensation benefits was properly created, and if so, whether waiver of recovery is warranted.
The deciding factor: Further clarification on the issuance and recall of a warrant against the veteran is needed to determine the validity of her status as a fugitive felon during the period in question.

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.
