Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability and special monthly compensation due to service-connected disabilities, as additional development is needed.
The deciding factor: The AOJ erred in not considering TDIU on the merits and failing to properly develop the file before the decision on appeal.
