The Board remands the appeal to have a proper audit conducted from December 2019 through June 2023, to determine if the Veteran is owed any retroactive CRDP compensation.
The deciding factor: The evidence is unclear as to what monies were actually due the Veteran, what was withheld, for what purpose it was withheld, and whether an accurate audit was ever conducted as a result of the Veteran's incarceration.

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.
