The Board has remanded the case for further development and consideration of all pertinent information and evidence, including a VBA Fast Letter 2014-09. The Veteran's appeal will be reconsidered with respect to the issues of termination of VA monetary benefits, validity of overpayment in $44,432 amount, and validity of overpayment in $3,724 amount.
The deciding factor: The case was remanded due to a request from the appellant for additional review based on new information provided by VBA Fast Letter 2014-09 and because the Board did not provide adequate reasons and bases as to whether the Veteran was a fugitive felon for the periods at issue.

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.
