Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's attorney argues for TDIU consideration prior to March 26, 2009 due to his service-connected disabilities and unemployment. The Board finds the possibility of unemployability during that period is plausible and remands the case for extra-schedular TDIU consideration under 38 C.F.R. § 4.16(b).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's attorney argues for extra-schedular TDIU consideration due to his service-connected disabilities and unemployment.

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.
