The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient rationale in previous opinions regarding whether the Veteran's partial hysterectomy was related to her service-connected condyloma. Additional development is needed, including obtaining an operative report from Tyndall Air Force Base and a medical opinion on the cause of the hysterectomy.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there is insufficient evidence to support the claim that the partial hysterectomy was secondary to the Veteran's service-connected condyloma.

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.

- Denied
The Board has denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for abnormal pap with atypical squamous cell and condyloma accuminata, as well as chronic cough. The Board found that there is no current disability of these conditions, and thus cannot grant service connection.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient evidence regarding the Veteran's gynecological disability, including her partial hysterectomy and condyloma. The VA is instructed to obtain missing service separation records, update clinical records, and schedule a VA examination for an opinion on the relationship between the Veteran's current diagnoses and her in-service conditions.
- Denied
The Veteran's initial compensable rating for condyloma accuminata and erectile dysfunction was denied. The Board found no evidence of penile deformity in the case of erectile dysfunction, which precludes a higher rating under applicable diagnostic codes.,Service connection for hypertension was also denied as there is no evidence of chronic disease during service or within one year after separation from service.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for further examination and development due to the need for updated VA treatment records, a VA examination for hypertension, and VA examinations for condyloma accuminata and erectile dysfunction.
