The Veteran's service-connected gynecological disability from a caesarian section and related conditions are being remanded for further evaluation, including scheduling a VA examination. The TDIU claim is also being remanded due to its inextricably intertwined nature with the increased rating claim.
The deciding factor: Further development is needed as the Veteran failed to appear for a requested VA examination and there are unresolved issues regarding her service-connected gynecological disability from a caesarian section, including whether her cysts, sexual dysfunction, endometriosis, and urinary incontinence are related to her service-connected 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.
