The Board remands the case for further development to consider entitlement to TDIU on an extraschedular basis prior to April 28, 2009.
The deciding factor: There is evidence suggesting the possibility that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities may have prevented employment prior to April 28, 2009, but a referral for Agency of Original Jurisdiction (AOJ) consideration of such is warranted.

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.
