The Board has remanded the cases of service connection for a nasal disorder and stomach disorder, as well as the issue of total disability evaluation based upon individual unemployability prior to August 10, 2022. The Veteran's TDIU claim on or after August 10, 2022, is dismissed due to his already having been granted a 100 percent schedular evaluation and special monthly compensation at rates higher than available under 38 U.S.C. § 1114(s).
The deciding factor: The Veteran's TDIU claim on or after August 10, 2022, is moot because he has already been granted a 100 percent schedular evaluation and special monthly compensation at rates higher than available under 38 U.S.C. § 1114(s).

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.
