The Board has determined that there are procedural issues with the case and remands it for further action, including providing the Veteran a copy of the statement of the case and substantive appeal, verifying marital status, requesting financial statements from both parties, and reconsidering the issue on appeal.
The deciding factor: The decision is remanded due to procedural errors in the initial decision and lack of information regarding the parties' marital status and support provided during the appeal period.

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.
