PER CURIAM.
We hold that, as a matter of law, Mr. Andrews raised a TDIU claim in his 1983 filing to the VA. The Veterans Court should remand the case to the Board for a determination as to whether the record in 1983 established TDIU. If it concludes that the record did not establish TDIU, the VA must explain what legal principle justifies reaching a different result on what appears to be a more favorable record in 1983 than was present when the VA awarded Mr. Andrews TDIU in 1991.
Costs
Costs are awarded to Mr. Andrews.
