The Board remands the Veteran's claims for an evaluation in excess of 20 percent prior to March 9, 2015, and in excess of 40 percent from March 9, 2015, as well as entitlement to a total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to service-connected disabilities, for additional development.
The deciding factor: Additional development is necessary to obtain outstanding treatment records which might contain information probative to the Veteran's increased rating claim and entitlement to TDIU.

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.
