The Board remands the claim for a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) due to service-connected disabilities, on an extraschedular basis, prior to October 16, 2015, as it has not yet been forwarded to the Director of Compensation Services for extraschedular consideration.
The deciding factor: The VA Memo was prepared by a decision review officer and not issued by the Director, thus the claim requires further development before a final determination can be made.

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.
