The Board has decided that further development is needed to determine the Veteran's child support obligation and its impact on his dependents' VA benefits. The AOJ must provide the Veteran with a copy of the Appellant's November 2018 substantive appeal, request updated financial statements from both parties, and reconsider the issue under relevant regulations.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need for further development regarding the Veteran's child support obligation and its impact on his dependents' VA benefits.

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.
