The Board remands the claim for a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) due to service-connected disabilities, on an extraschedular basis, prior to October 16, 2015, for further review by the VA's Director of Compensation Service.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a reasonable possibility that the Veteran may be unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation due to his service-connected disabilities, warranting extraschedular consideration.

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.
