The Board remands the issue of entitlement to a TDIU from May 2014 for further development, as there is sufficient evidence to substantiate a reasonable possibility that the Veteran may be unemployable due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: There is sufficient evidence to substantiate a reasonable possibility that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities have precluded him from securing and maintaining substantially gainful employment since May 2014, but his combined evaluation does not meet the percentage standards set forth in 4.16(a) for a schedular TDIU.

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.
