The Board remands the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) prior to June 21, 2017, for referral to the Director of Compensation Service for extraschedular consideration.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected heart conditions may prevent him from gainful employment given his limited education and work experience, and the functional limitations of his heart condition.

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.
