The Board has remanded the claims for increased ratings and TDIU due to ongoing development of evidence and further examination. The Veteran's service-connected right hip disabilities are currently rated based on their impact on her ability to work.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need for additional development, including obtaining updated VA Form 21-8940 and conducting further examinations to determine the severity of the Veteran's service-connected conditions and their impact on her employment.

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.

The Board has remanded the claims for increased ratings for right hip disabilities and entitlement to a TDIU due to outstanding private treatment records not yet associated with the claims file.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's appeal includes claims for increased ratings for her right hip disabilities and a TDIU. The effective dates of the temporary 100% evaluation based on her right hip surgery are incorrect, and the RO is instructed to correct these. The TDIU claim is also remanded due to its interrelatedness with the right hip rating claims.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected lumbar myositis, psychoneurosis and conversion hysteria, residuals of shrapnel wounds of the left thigh and pelvis with retained foreign bodies and scars, and residuals of shell fragment wounds of the right thigh and left leg. The veteran was also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial evaluation in excess of 10 percent for his service-connected coronary artery disease, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating based on the severity of his condition.
