The appeal for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) prior to February 3, 2023 has been remanded. The Board will consider whether extraschedular referral is warranted.
The deciding factor: The Board must consider whether referral for extraschedular consideration of TDIU is appropriate due to a reasonable possibility that the veteran's service-connected disabilities resulted in unemployability.

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.
