What this means for you
A remand sends an issue back for more development, often a new examination or missing records. It does not award the benefit or decide the final outcome. The original decision explains the additional work ordered.
What you can do next
Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Granted
The Veteran's claims for service connection for fibroids and partial hysterectomy as secondary to her now-service-connected fibroids have been granted. The claim for chronic fungus of the toes remains denied, while the claims for chronic vaginal infection, alopecia, and heat casualty/eczema are remanded.
- Dismissed
The claims for service connection and noncompensable disability rating have been dismissed as the Veteran did not raise or submit evidence for earlier effective dates.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's cervical carcinoma in situ with ovarian cysts, and chronic migraine-type headaches are being remanded for further examination and opinion as the current evidence is insufficient to establish a causal relationship between these conditions and her military service.
- Dismissed
The Board dismissed the Veteran's claims of service connection for a cesarean section, tubal ligation, and a chronic disability manifested by decreased bowel function. The very heavy menstrual cycle and fibroids were denied as not related to service.
