The Board has remanded the case due to an informal claim for exclusion of a child's income based on hardship and other issues related to the appellant's daughter's social security income.
The deciding factor: The appeal is intertwined with the issue of whether the income of the appellant's child should be classified as countable income, which requires further development regarding the child's living situation and available evidence.

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.
