The Board has determined that additional development is needed to address the Veteran's service connection claims for cervical dysplasia, HPV, and cystitis. The issues of higher initial ratings for hypertension, atrial tachycardia, right wrist disability, tinea pedis, and contact dermatitis are also remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran has not provided sufficient evidence to establish a service connection for cervical dysplasia, HPV, or cystitis. The claims must be remanded to obtain additional medical records and to schedule the Veteran for appropriate examinations.

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.
