Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for a higher rating and total disability due to individual unemployability. The decision was based on the need to review additional medical records and properly develop the TDIU claim.
The deciding factor: The Board found that certain medical records were constructively received by the VBA and must be reviewed, and that the TDIU claim was reasonably raised by the record.
