The Board remands the issues of entitlement to a rating in excess of 70 percent for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service connected disabilities (TDIU) to obtain outstanding Vet Center records and an updated VA Form 21-8940.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to ensure that there are no outstanding Vet Center treatment records prior to promulgating the April 2024 rating decision, and to provide a complete record as to the Veteran's employment history and last day of full-time employment.

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.
