The Board has determined that additional development is needed to determine if the veteran's menstrual irregularity and dysplasia are related to military service, including obtaining medical records and scheduling a VA examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was insufficient evidence in the record regarding the nature and etiology of the veteran's GYN disorders and their relationship to her military service.

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.
