Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to a TDIU due to service-connected disabilities, as the AOJ is still adjudicating it and has not issued a rating decision or supplemental statement of the case.
The deciding factor: The VA medical examinations relied upon by the Board were found inadequate for rating purposes, necessitating new examinations.

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.
