The Veteran's service-connected disabilities did not meet the schedular requirements for TDIU prior to June 8, 2010. However, there is credible evidence indicating he was unemployable due to his service-connected disabilities as early as 2009. The Board has remanded the case for extraschedular consideration.
The deciding factor: There is credible evidence of record that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered him unemployable prior to the date in which he met the schedular requirements.

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.
