The Board is unsure if there is a justiciable case or controversy before the Board concerning the award of apportionment to P.E. of additional compensation from January 1, 2006 to May 2, 2007 based on P.E. being the Veteran's child due to conflicting evidence regarding whether P.E. was in school during that period.
The deciding factor: The decision is remanded as there is uncertainty about the validity of the appeal and potential jurisdictional issues.

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.
