The Board has remanded the case for further development and consideration of both issues, including service connection for an eye disability and TDIU. The Veteran's appeal remains before the Board.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's statements indicate a contradiction regarding his PTSD claim, which must be clarified to determine if he wishes to proceed with his appeal or withdraw it.

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.
