The Veteran's application to reopen her claim of service connection for a c-section infection was granted. The Board also remanded the issue of service connection for angioedema (claimed as overlapping of abdomen from c-section).
The deciding factor: New and material evidence has been received, raising a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claim.

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Granted
The Board granted service connection for thyroid cancer or residuals thereof, hypothyroidism, angioedema, parathyroid adenoma (also claimed as hypoparathyroid), seizure disorder, obstructive sleep apnea, and hypertension, all of which are secondary to the Veteran's service-connected thyroid cancer.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for a VA examination to determine if the Veteran's angioedema is related to service.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection, finding that her stress fractures of the calcaneal bones were no more than moderate in severity and that she did not have a current right shoulder disability. The claims for service connection for angioedema, hives, abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, heart murmur, migraine headaches, allergic rhinitis, left ankle disability, and prolapsed rectum were remanded for further development.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded all claims for service connection due to less than substantial compliance with previous remand directives.
