The Board has remanded the cases for further development due to the need for a new VA examination and opinion regarding the Veteran's service-connected residuals of pulmonary thromboembolism, including any cognitive impairment. The TDIU claim is also deferred until these issues are resolved.
The deciding factor: The decision was remanded because the current evidence does not provide sufficient information to rate the Veteran's condition accurately or determine his eligibility for a TDIU rating due to service-connected residuals of pulmonary thromboembolism.

What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
