The Veteran's claims for increased ratings and TDIU are being remanded due to the need for additional examinations and development of her case.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that new examinations should be scheduled as there is no documentation that the Veteran was properly notified of the scheduled examinations, which could affect the outcome of her increased rating and TDIU claims.

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.
