The Board has remanded the case for a VA examination to determine if the Veteran currently has any diagnosed leg disability and whether it is at least as likely as not related to service. The claims for ovarian cyst and vaginal condition have been denied.
The deciding factor: No current diagnosis of an ovarian cyst or vaginal condition was found in the Veteran's records, and no VA examination was provided regarding her claimed bilateral leg disability.

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.
