The Board remands the issues of entitlement to a rating in excess of 30 percent for PTSD, an effective date prior to February 16, 2023, for the award of a TDIU, and an effective date prior to February 16, 2023, for the award of DEA benefits.
The deciding factor: The March 2022 VA examiner's report is based on an inaccurate factual premise regarding the Veteran's mental health history, necessitating a remand for further development.

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.
