The Board remands the issue of entitlement to a total disability rating due to individual unemployability (TDIU) for further development, specifically to obtain federal employment records from the Veteran's previous VA medical center jobs.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary because there has not been substantial compliance with the Board's previous remand directive to obtain the Veteran's federal employment records.

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.
