The Board remands the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU) for further development, including obtaining private treatment records from Samaritan Village.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the need to obtain additional relevant medical records that may speak to the Veteran's ability to obtain and maintain employment.

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.
