The Veteran's claims for increased ratings and TDIU are being remanded due to the need for additional VA treatment records and a review of his TDIU claim.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need to obtain missing VA treatment records that may affect the rating decisions and the TDIU claim, which is inextricably intertwined with the increased ratings claims.

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.
