The Board remands the claims for an earlier effective date for TDIU and DEA benefits, as they are inextricably intertwined with a referral to the Director of Compensation Service for consideration of a TDIU on an extraschedular basis prior to January 31, 2018.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary due to the need for a referral to the Director of Compensation Service for an extraschedular TDIU determination before the Board can make a decision on the merits.

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.
