Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter to obtain additional documents and verify whether the Veteran was a fugitive felon as that term is legally defined.
The deciding factor: The AOJ's failure to obtain documents regarding the Veteran's arrest warrant prior to implementing the termination of VA compensation benefits is a pre-decisional error in the duty to assist that must be corrected on remand.
