The Board has found that the Veteran was in receipt of Social Security Administration (SSA) disability benefits from September 17, 2001 until his death. However, additional evidence is needed to verify income, net worth, and the Veteran's need for aid and attendance between August 12, 2015 and August 12, 2016.
The deciding factor: The appellant needs to provide information regarding her and the Veteran's income, net worth, and medical expenses as well as any information regarding the Veteran's need for aid and attendance in the year prior to August 12, 2016.

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.
What you can do next
Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
