Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the TDIU issue for additional development, including verification of whether the nurse practitioner who rendered the February 2025 addendum opinion practices and/or has expertise in vocational or occupational medicine, and if not, obtaining a new addendum opinion from an appropriate VA vocational or similar occupational specialist.
The deciding factor: The Board must ensure compliance with its prior remand directives to adequately address the Veteran's TDIU claim.

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.
