The Board has remanded the claims of service connection for fallen bladder, fallen uterus, residuals of a hysterectomy, and dysplasia due to conflicting evidence regarding their onset during or related to service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not address all relevant medical and lay evidence, including the Veteran's reports of symptoms since service and her in-service pregnancy.

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.
