The Board remands the issues of the propriety of the December 2017 grant of an apportionment of the Veteran's VA compensation benefits to S.V. on her own behalf and on behalf of the Veteran's children, J.V., and J.V., for issuance of a statement of the case.
The deciding factor: The issues must be remanded as a statement of the case has not been issued and a timely substantive appeal is required before returning these issues to the Board.

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.
