The Veteran seeks service connection for premature ovarian failure. The Board has determined that a new examination is necessary to determine whether the Veteran has a current disability attributable to her in-service premature ovarian failure.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service treatment records do not show an oophorectomy, and there is no evidence of a current disability related to the in-service condition. The Board finds it unclear if the Veteran currently has such a disability.

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
Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
