The Board has remanded the case for additional development, including obtaining VA and private treatment records and scheduling a VA examination to determine if the Veteran's urinary disorder is related to her service-connected gynecological/hysterectomy disabilities.
The deciding factor: The February 2019 addendum opinion was inadequate as it did not address the continuity of symptomatology since military service or the relationship between the Veteran’s service-connected hysterectomy and her current urinary disorder.

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.
