The Board has remanded the matter to determine if the Veteran's service-connected disabilities have rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation since his September 1995 application for TDIU. The Veteran is requested to provide updated employment history and earnings information.
The deciding factor: The Veteran has not provided sufficient employment history and earnings information since 1995, which is required to determine if he meets the criteria for TDIU.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
What you can do next
