The Board has determined that the VA examination is inadequate for adjudicative purposes and remands this matter to obtain a VA medical opinion regarding the Veteran's residuals of total hysterectomy and pelvic adhesion disease. The examiner must address whether it is at least as likely as not that the Veteran's conditions had their onset in service or are otherwise related to service, including her service-connected colon resection and cervicitis disabilities.
The deciding factor: The VA examination did not provide an opinion regarding whether the Veteran's residuals of total hysterectomy and pelvic adhesion disease were aggravated by her service-connected colon resection and cervicitis disabilities. The examiner also failed to address whether these conditions had their onset in service or are otherwise related to service.

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.
