The Board remands the matter of entitlement to an apportionment of the Veteran's VA compensation benefits for the benefit of A.J., due to incomplete procedural steps and financial information.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to ensure full compliance with contested claims procedures, including providing the Veteran with a copy of the appellant's substantive appeal, obtaining updated income and expense information, and addressing child support payments during the appeal period.

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.
