The veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for the grant of a total disability evaluation based on individual unemployability (TDIU) is being remanded to the RO for consideration of additional evidence and issuance of a supplemental statement of the case.
The deciding factor: The veteran's claim was previously remanded by the Board, but additional pertinent evidence has been submitted. The RO must review this new evidence and issue a supplemental statement of the case.

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.
