The Board has determined that the case must be remanded as procedural steps have not been completed, including notifying the Veteran and appellant of the September 2013 apportionment decision, providing notice on the requirements for a minor child to receive an apportionment after turning 18 years old post high school, obtaining documentation from the appellant or educational institution regarding pursuit of education by K.A. and A.A., requesting financial information from both parties, and issuing a Supplemental Statement of the Case (SSOC).
The deciding factor: Procedural steps have not been completed as required for simultaneous contested claims.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
