The Board has remanded the case due to inadequate medical opinions and incomplete development of claims for radiation exposure, CBRNE exposure, and PACT Act exposure. The Veteran's gynecological disorder including premature ovarian failure is also under review.
The deciding factor: Medical opinions are needed to address whether the Veteran's Mosaic Turner syndrome and premature ovarian failure are defects or diseases, and if they are related to service, particularly due to radiation exposure as a chemical officer and/or irregular menstrual periods during service.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.

- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for various conditions, including left hip disorder, bilateral ankle disorder, bilateral lower extremity radiculopathy, heart disorder, insomnia, sexual arousal disorder, gynecological disorder, rheumatoid arthritis, and HTN. The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of these conditions or their relationship to military service.
- Denied
The Board denied service connection for a gynecological disorder, finding no evidence of a disability during the appeal period and noting that there was no indication of chronic residuals associated with in-service genital warts. Post-service post-menopausal bleeding has not been linked to service.
- Dismissed
The veteran withdrew her appeal for all issues, including service connection and increased ratings.
- Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a cervical spine disorder but denied service connection for psoriasis, varicose veins, nodule on right thyroid, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, and gynecological disorder.
