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.
The deciding factor: New evidence submitted by the Veteran has not been considered in the current decision-making process.

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.

- Granted
The Veteran is granted a TDIU based on her service-connected disabilities, including right foot drop, CVA, migraines, polycystic ovary disease, and seborrheic dermatitis. The Board finds that the evidence shows she is unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation due to these conditions.
- 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.
- Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, effective from the date of the February 2025 rating decision.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a medical examination to determine if the Veteran's current neck strain is related to his in-service activities.
