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 sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
