The Board remands the issues of whether the discontinuance of a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities (TDIU) and the associated Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) benefits, effective March 1, 2024, were proper.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the AOJ committed a pre-decisional error in failing to associate with the record SSA earnings evidence relied upon for discontinuing TDIU and DEA benefits, necessitating remand to correct this error.

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.
