DOCKET NO. 13-34 387
DATE: June 22, 2020

REMANDED

Entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) is remanded.

REASONS FOR REMAND

The Veteran served on active duty from September 1969 to March 1972.

This appeal to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) is from a July 2012 rating decision of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Regional Office (RO).

The Board remanded the matter in June 2015.

Entitlement to a TDIU is remanded.

In March 2020, the Board notified that Veteran that additional evidence was added to the claims file after the most recent adjudication of the claim and he was given the option of waiving initial RO consideration of the evidence or having his appeal remanded to the RO to consider prior to the Board considering it.  See March 2020 BVA Letter.

The Veteran responded in May 2020 and stated that he wanted the case remanded.  See May 2020 Correspondence.  Thus, the matter is remanded to the RO.

The matter is REMANDED for the following action:

The RO must readjudicate the TDIU claim and consider all the evidence of record, to include evidence received after the February 2017 supplemental statement of the case.
