The claims for service connection and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) are remanded due to the failure of the Agency of Original Jurisdiction (AOJ) to ensure delivery of the November 2022 supplemental statement of the case to the Appellant.

The deciding factor: The claims must be remanded as there has not been substantial compliance with Board remand directives, and proof of delivery is lacking.
