The Board remands the matter of entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU) on an extraschedular basis prior to September 9, 2020 for further development.
The deciding factor: The issue is being remanded to ensure that there is a complete record upon which to decide the Veteran's appeal and to address whether TDIU is moot for any period of time during which the Veteran is receiving a 100 percent rating and SMC pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 1114(s).

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.
