The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for additional development due to the need for examinations and opinions regarding her gynecological and right hip/leg disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service treatment records do not contain sufficient information to make a decision on the merits of her claims, as there is no direct evidence linking her current conditions to military service. However, she has provided credible reports of in-service symptoms that may be associated with her current conditions.

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
