The Board has remanded the case for further development, including obtaining medical opinions and evidence to determine if cervical dysplasia resulted from service-connected chronic cervicitis and whether hysterectomy was secondary to that condition.
The deciding factor: Further evaluation is needed to establish a link between service-connected conditions and the need for additional compensation.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
