The Board remands the claim for an effective date prior to January 31, 2020, for a TDIU due to inconsistencies in the Veteran's employment history.
The deciding factor: The record at the time of the February 2024 rating decision was not adequate to determine whether the Veteran is entitled to a TDIU at any point during the appeal period prior to January 31, 2020, due to inconsistencies in his reported employment history.

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.
