The Board has remanded the claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU) as the Veteran did not provide the requested VA Form 21-8940. The matter is being returned to the RO for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to respond to the request for information regarding his employment history, resulting in the claim being considered abandoned.

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.
