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 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.
