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.

The Board has remanded the claims of entitlement to an earlier effective date for the grant of a total disability rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU) and entitlement to an earlier effective date for Dependents' Educational Assistance under 38 U.S.C. chapter 35 (DEA). The Veteran is requested to provide employment information from AT&T Stadium, Legends Concessions, and Social Security Administration records are sought.
