The Board has remanded the case due to inadequate notice provided regarding how to establish C. as the Veteran's dependent child for VA purposes, specifically whether it is an adopted or illegitimate child.
The deciding factor: The decision was remanded because the VCAA notice did not adequately inform the Veteran of the evidence required under 38 C.F.R. § 3.210(b) and (c).

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.
