The Veteran's shin splints of the left leg, fibroids, vaginal cyst, and lump on skin on the right buttock are all remanded for further examination and determination.
The deciding factor: The claims require additional medical evaluation to determine if there is a service connection between the conditions and the Veteran's active service.

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.
