The Board has remanded the case for further development to determine if the Veteran violated a condition of his probation and whether he requested a waiver of the overpayment debt.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's status as a fugitive felon, but did not address whether he actually violated a condition of his probation or if he requested a waiver of the overpayment debt.

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.
