The Board remands the issues of an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for unspecified insomnia disorder previously rated as PTSD and entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU) for further development.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to consider additional VA treatment records, VA examinations, and any other relevant evidence received since the June 2019 SSOC.

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.
