The Veteran's appeal is remanded due to the submission of new evidence since the April 2018 statement of the case. The initial rating for polycystic ovary disease remains denied, and the increased rating claim for asthma with inactive tuberculosis requires further development.

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.

- Dismissed
The Veteran's appeal for service connection for psychosis or mental illness for the purpose of establishing eligibility for treatment under 38 U.S.C. �1702 was dismissed as moot due to her PTSD being granted. The claim for a higher rating for polycystic ovary disease is denied, and she is now receiving SMC based on loss of use of a creative organ.
- Granted
The Veteran is granted a TDIU based on her service-connected disabilities, with the condition that it is subject to the law and regulations governing the award of monetary benefits.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's daughter is seeking various ratings and service connection for multiple conditions, but the appeal has been remanded due to scheduling issues.
- Granted
The Board finds that the veteran's gynecological disorder, including polycystic ovary disease and secondary infertility, was incurred during service. Therefore, service connection is granted.
