The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for an evaluation in excess of 60 percent for interstitial cystitis with frequent urinary tract infections (UTI), to include on an extraschedular basis, and for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Board found that the decision was remanded because it failed to address whether a theory of entitlement was reasonably raised by the record regarding 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.

- Denied
The Veteran's interstitial cystitis is currently rated at the maximum schedular rating of 60 percent, and there are no additional signs or symptoms related to her condition that warrant a higher rating.
- Denied
The Veteran's interstitial cystitis with recurrent urinary tract infection is not rated as compensable due to the lack of evidence showing she requires suppressive drug therapy lasting 6 months or longer for her recurrent UTIs, nor does she have a voiding dysfunction that meets the criteria for a compensable rating.
