The Board remands the case to provide a new evaluation with a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC) to assess the impact of the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including PTSD, on his ability to obtain or maintain employment.
The deciding factor: The record does not show that the AOJ ever provided the Veteran with a comprehensive follow-up evaluation to address the impact of his additional and increased service-connected disabilities on his ability to obtain and maintain suitable employment.

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.
