The Board has remanded the case due to incomplete information and outstanding records, including SSA disability application details. The Veteran needs to provide a formal TDIU application and updated VA treatment records.
The deciding factor: Incomplete information and missing relevant medical records prevent a full evaluation of the claim.

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.
