The Board remands the issue regarding whether the Veteran was properly paid for his dependents due to an error in satisfying a statutory and regulatory duty.
The deciding factor: An error by the AOJ, other than a duty to assist error, in satisfying its statutory and regulatory duty must be corrected as it has a reasonable possibility of aiding in substantiating the claim.

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.
