The deciding factor: Remand is required to provide the Veteran with a VA examination of his feet to determine the current severity of his service-connected bilateral foot disorder, as it is inextricably intertwined with the claim for 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.
