The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient medical evidence regarding the relationship between the Veteran's urinary stress incontinence and her service, including a lack of VA examination or opinion.
The deciding factor: The claim is being remanded for an appropriate VA examination to determine if there is at least a 50% probability that the Veteran's urinary incontinence disability is related to her active duty service, including any in-service pregnancy and associated complications.

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.
