Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to TDIU on an extraschedular basis due to a service-connected lumbar spine disability alone from May 14, 2013, and SMC at the housebound rate from that date, as well as the issue of entitlement to TDIU prior to May 14, 2013.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to ensure compliance with the Board's June 2023 remand directive.

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.
