The Board remands the issue of entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities for further development and clarification.
The deciding factor: There is conflicting evidence regarding whether the Veteran's service-connected right leg disability caused an inability to walk or rendered him unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation, necessitating a remand for additional medical opinion.

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.
