The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional development, including obtaining records of her hysterectomy and considering the appropriateness of different diagnostic codes.
The deciding factor: The Veteran has claimed entitlement to an initial compensable evaluation for pelvic adhesive disease and special monthly compensation based on loss of a creative organ. The case must be returned to the Board for further consideration after additional development is completed.

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.
