Remanded (sent back)
The Board has determined that the issues of whether the overpayment of apportionment benefits to the appellant, on behalf of her child D.D., was properly created and entitlement to a waiver of recovery of the overpayment are not ripe for appellate review due to procedural issues. The termination of the apportionment of the Veteran’s VA monthly compensation benefits to the appellant, on behalf of her child D.D., is also remanded.
The deciding factor: Procedural issues have been identified and need to be addressed before further action can be taken on these claims.

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.
