The Board has remanded the case for additional development to determine if the dependent child status of CMJ changed over the course of the appeal, and for what periods she was eligible for the benefit sought. The Veteran is also required to provide detailed financial information (income, expenses, assets, and liabilities) for the past four years, including clarification of any support payments made prior to August 2006.
The deciding factor: The Board has determined that additional development is necessary to ensure a complete record before deciding the apportionment claim.

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.
