The Veteran is currently receiving service-connected compensation benefits. The appellant contends that there should be an apportionment of these benefits on her behalf because the Veteran has still been receiving compensation for their minor child as a dependent even though they have been legally separated since December 2006, and divorced since September 2009.
The deciding factor: The appeal is about the apportionment of VA compensation benefits due to the appellant's status as a former spouse seeking benefits for their minor child. The Veteran continues to receive compensation based on their status as a dependent, which affects the appellant's claim for apportionment.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
