The Board has decided to remand the claim for a TDIU due to insufficient information on the Veteran's employability and service-connected disorders. The AOJ is instructed to obtain updated employment information, schedule the Veteran for a new examination by an appropriate clinician regarding his ability to work, and re-adjudicate the claim.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the previous medical evidence was insufficient to determine the Veteran's employability due to his service-connected disorders, particularly his knee condition.

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.
