The Board has decided that further development is needed to determine if the Veteran is eligible for Total Disability Rating due to Individual Unemployability (TDIU). This includes obtaining a detailed VA examination to assess his ability to work given his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: Further development is required as the previous examinations did not provide sufficient detail on how the Veteran's disabilities affect his employability.

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.
