DOCKET NO. 11-03 218
DATE: December 29, 2021

REMANDED

Entitlement to total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU).

REASONS FOR REMAND

The Veteran testified before the undersigned Veterans Law Judge in April 2021. A copy of the transcript has been associated with the claims file. 

In October 2021, the Board remanded the claim of entitlement to TDIU pending the assignment of a rating for service connection for insomnia. In November 2021, the Regional Office (RO) assigned a 10 percent rating for insomnia. However, a Supplemental Statement of the Case (SSOC) discussing entitlement to TDIU was not issued. 

Therefore, a remand is necessary to issue an SSOC on this issue. Manlincon v. West, 12 Vet. App. 238 (1999).   

The matter is REMANDED for the following action:

 

Issue an SSOC on the issue of entitlement to TDIU. If referral for extraschedular consideration is needed, that should be undertaken.
