The Veteran's TDIU claim is being remanded due to the AOJ sending development letters to his former address. The AOJ needs to send these letters to his current address and ensure any supplemental statement of the case is sent there as well.
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to properly notify the Veteran at his current address, which could affect the outcome of his TDIU claim.

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.
