The Board remands the issue of entitlement to a TDIU rating, including on an extraschedular basis, for referral to the Director of Compensation Service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's combined disability evaluation rating does not meet the threshold minimum percentage standards enunciated in 38 C.F.R. § 4.16(a), but the evidence is sufficient for referral to the Director of Compensation and Pension Service for extraschedular consideration under 38 C.F.R. § 4.16(b).

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.
