Remanded (sent back)
The Board dismissed the appeal for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disability (TDIU) and remanded several issues related to increased ratings for various disabilities.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the need to obtain additional private medical records to determine the severity of the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, particularly in relation to a potential need for higher-level aid and attendance.
