The Board remands the case to clarify whether past-due benefits were accrued for the grant of TDIU in addition to the increased rating for left knee arthritis.
The deciding factor: The May 2023 RO decision granted an increased rating for a left knee arthritis and TDIU, but the Fee Decision was silent as to TDIU. The Board finds that remand is necessary to clarify whether past-due benefits were accrued based on this grant.

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.
