The Board remands the issue of entitlement to a TDIU prior to June 25, 2008, including on an extraschedular basis, for referral to the Director, Compensation Service.
The deciding factor: The record evidence suggests that the Veteran may be unable to secure and maintain substantially gainful employment solely as a result of his service-connected disabilities prior to June 25, 2008, but the Board is precluded from adjudicating entitlement to a TDIU on an extraschedular basis in the first instance.

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.
