The Board has remanded the case for further development and adjudication, including obtaining clarification on expenses related to the Veteran's funeral and determining whether the appellant's son is a child of the Veteran. The claim will be readjudicated with consideration of the appellant's household income and unreimbursed medical expenses.
The deciding factor: The Board found that additional evidence was needed regarding the appellant's son's status as a child of the Veteran, clarification on funeral expenses, and verification of Social Security Administration benefits to determine her eligibility for death pension benefits.

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.
