The deciding factor: Income and expense information from the appeal period are needed to determine if the appellant meets the income and net worth requirements for payment of VA survivor's 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.
