The Board remands the matter for referral to the Director of Compensation Service for consideration of entitlement to a TDIU on an extraschedular basis due to the Veteran's service-connected migraines.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need to consider extraschedular TDIU due to the Veteran's service-connected migraines, as there is plausible evidence that he is unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation.

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.
