The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection due to outstanding Reserve records and other missing medical evidence. The claims include hypoglycemia, infertility due to pyridostigmine bromide exposure, scars of the trunk and extremities, urticaria with dermographism (claimed as rash, skin allergy, cyst, benign skin growth), residuals of cervical cancer, hyperactive immune response, and a chronic disability manifested by blood sugar regulation problems and low blood sugar. The Board also requested additional VA examinations to address these claims.
The deciding factor: The decision is remanded due to outstanding Reserve records and missing medical evidence that need to be obtained and evaluated.

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.
