The Board denied entitlement to a TDIU on a schedular basis prior to November 14, 2018, and remanded the issue of entitlement to a TDIU on an extraschedular basis for further consideration.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's combined disability rating did not meet the criteria for a TDIU on a schedular basis until November 14, 2018, but there is some evidence suggesting he may have been unable to work due to his service-connected right knee disabilities prior to that date.

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.
