Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the case to consider if the veteran is unemployable due to service-connected disabilities. The Veteran's claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) was not decided.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there is a reasonable possibility that the Veteran is unemployable by reason of his service-connected disabilities, requiring referral to the Director for extra-schedular consideration.
