The Board has decided that an apportionment in excess of $129.00 per month of the Veteran's VA disability compensation benefits should be granted to the Appellant, but it must issue a statement of the case addressing both the rate and effective date of the apportionment.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the provisions of 38 C.F.R. § 3.665 which require an apportionment of VA disability compensation benefits to dependents if claim is filed within one year of notice of a reduction in payments to the veteran.

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.
