The Veteran's partial hysterectomy service connection has been granted, but the current evaluation is 30 percent. The Board has ordered a remand for further development due to lack of recent VA examination.
The deciding factor: The last VA examination was more than six years ago and new evidence indicates the need for a contemporaneous one.

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.
