The Board has remanded the case due to the need for additional development, including obtaining medical records and providing an addendum opinion regarding the Veteran's cervical dysplasia and CIN.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's gynecological disability is not among the diseases entitled to presumptive service connection based on exposure at Camp Lejeune. The case must be remanded for further development, including obtaining medical records and providing an addendum opinion regarding the etiology of her condition.

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.
