The Board has remanded the case due to new and material evidence submitted by the Veteran, reopening her claim for service connection for a gynecological disorder. The issues of service connection for residuals of a punctured bladder secondary to a gynecological disorder and temporary total disability rating are also being remanded.
The deciding factor: New and material evidence has been submitted that relates to unestablished facts necessary to substantiate the claim of entitlement to service connection for a gynecological disorder, including dysfunctional uterine bleeding and residuals of a hysterectomy.

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.
