The Board remands the matter of entitlement to an effective date earlier than May 8, 2021, for a TDIU due to service-connected disabilities for extraschedular consideration.
The deciding factor: There is sufficient evidence to substantiate a reasonable possibility that the Veteran was unemployable because of service-connected disabilities so as to warrant a referral to the Director for consideration of TDIU on an extraschedular basis.

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.
