Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) is remanded. The Board needs more medical evidence to determine the impact of the veteran's service-connected conditions on his ability to work.
The deciding factor: A duty to assist error occurred because a VA medical opinion was not obtained regarding the Veteran's ability to secure or maintain gainful employment due to his service-connected disabilities.
