The Board remands the Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) to ensure adequate medical examination and referral to the Director of Compensation Services for consideration on an extraschedular basis.
The deciding factor: The prior VA examinations were found inadequate due to contradictory findings and lack of rationale, necessitating new examinations and a referral for extraschedular TDIU evaluation.

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.
