The Veteran seeks service connection for uterine cancer/endometrial carcinoma, which she claims is due to exposure to chemical herbicides during her military service in the Republic of Vietnam. The case has been remanded as additional development is needed to determine if there is a link between her condition and her service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim requires an examination to assess whether her uterine cancer/endometrial carcinoma is related to her exposure to chemical herbicides during military service in Vietnam.

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.
