The Board has decided to remand the case for additional development, including obtaining updated treatment records and scheduling a VA examination. The Veteran's claim of entitlement to TDIU will be reconsidered after these actions.
The deciding factor: The decision is being remanded due to incomplete information regarding the Veteran's employment history and the need for an opinion on the collective impact of his service-connected disabilities on his ability to work.
