The Board remands the claims for an effective date prior to September 20, 2022 for total disability due to individual unemployability (TDIU) and basic eligibility to Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) due to insufficient evidence regarding the Veteran's employment history.
The deciding factor: The record is inadequate to establish the date of entitlement arose due to conflicting reports from the Veteran about her last employment, and further development is needed to clarify this information.

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.
