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 updated VA treatment records and verifying the Veteran's earned income from 2019 to the present.
The deciding factor: Further development is required to clarify the amount of the Veteran's annual earned income since 2013 due to conflicting information in his submitted forms and lack of response from the Social Security Administration.

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.
