The Board remands the claims for TDIU and DEA benefits due to a duty to assist error in that Social Security Administration (SSA) records showing income attributed to the Veteran for 2023 have not been associated with her record.
The deciding factor: There was a duty to assist error as SSA records were not properly associated with the Veteran's record, necessitating a remand to obtain these documents.

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.
