The Board remands the issue of entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) for additional development, including verification of the Veteran's employment status and income.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record contained conflicting employment information, making it unclear whether the Veteran's employment would be considered marginal for the purposes of entitlement to a TDIU.

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.
