The Board remanded the Veteran's TDIU claim for extraschedular consideration to the Director of Compensation Service.
The deciding factor: There is sufficient evidence to substantiate a reasonable possibility that the Veteran was unemployable due to service-connected disabilities, but the percentage requirements for a schedular TDIU were not met prior to November 5, 2019.

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.
