The deciding factor: New evidence was submitted by the Veteran, including a statement from his VA psychiatrist, which may affect the decision on his TDIU 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.

- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's claim for a TDIU prior to June 24, 2021 is being remanded due to a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error and potential errors that may help in substantiating the claim. The case will be referred to VA's Director of Compensation Service for extraschedular consideration.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has decided that the AOJ's decision on the TDIU claim is not clear regarding the appellant's employment status. The Board orders a remand to clarify this information and obtain a complete employment and education history, including salary history and tax records.
- Denied
The Veteran's TDIU claim is denied as he is currently employed on a full-time basis and the evidence does not show that his service-connected disabilities render him incapable of obtaining or maintaining substantially gainful employment.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board found that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities raised a question of whether he could secure or follow substantially gainful employment. The case is being remanded to request the Veteran submit his work history and educational background.
