The Board remands the Veteran's claim for a total disability based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) due to additional development needed, including an updated VA Form 21-8940 and a new VA examination.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's PTSD symptoms have worsened since the last examination, necessitating a contemporaneous evaluation to determine if he is unemployable due to his service-connected conditions.

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.
