The Board remands the claims for a rating in excess of 50 percent for PTSD and entitlement to TDIU, as an SOC has not been issued.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to the pending legacy appeal system claims that must be addressed first before adjudicating the modernized appeal system 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.
