The Veteran's initial compensable rating for service-connected residuals, fracture of right clavicle is denied. The TDIU claim is remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show symptomatology warranting a compensable rating for the right clavicle disability and the TDIU claim has been reasonably raised by the record in connection with the Veteran’s increased rating 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.
