The Board remands the issue of entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) for the periods from September 24, 2014, to February 3, 2016, from June 1, 2016, to June 22, 2017, from August 1, 2017, to January 17, 2018, and from April 1, 2018, to July 11, 2018.
The deciding factor: The evidence indicates that the Veteran's service-connected PTSD may have prevented him from working prior to July 12, 2018, but he did not meet the schedular criteria for a TDIU during the applicable periods. The matter is remanded for extraschedular consideration.

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.
