The Veteran's service-connected disability benefits are being apportioned to his dependent children, including his daughter T.D. However, the AOJ needs to review and clarify the scope of this apportionment since T.D.'s birth in 1992.
The deciding factor: The AOJ must provide a complete accounting of the Veteran's benefits to determine if the $252.00 per-month-apportionment included his daughter T.D.

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.
What you can do next
