The Board remands the claim for TDIU from June 3, 2008, to January 21, 2009, on an extraschedular basis for further evidentiary development.
The deciding factor: The record suggests that the Veteran was unable to secure or maintain employment due to his service-connected disabilities as of June 3, 2008, but he did not satisfy the schedular requirements for entitlement to TDIU prior to January 21, 2009.

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.
