The Board has decided that the appellant's death pension benefits should be reinstated, but it is unclear when she became eligible for these benefits. The decision also mentions a previous termination of her pension benefits in April 2019 and its potential reevaluation.
The deciding factor: It is unclear when the appellant’s net worth dropped below the limit noted in 38 C.F.R. § 3.274, which could affect whether she was eligible for death pension benefits at a specific date.

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.
