The Board has remanded the claims for additional development, including service connection for a fallopian tube disorder and compensable rating for endometriosis.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners did not find evidence of a current or historical diagnosis of a fallopian tube condition other than a tubal ligation. The Veteran's endometriosis is currently rated as noncompensable, but the Board acknowledges her belief that it is more severe.

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.
What you can do next
Use your own notice and decision stage. A remanded issue is not a final court-appealable denial. VA review guidance and CAVC filing instructions (U.S. federal; reviewed October 7, 2026).
