The Veteran's claims for service connection have been reopened, and the Board has ordered remand of her claims for right hip/right leg disorder, left hip/left leg disorder, back disorder, right leg numbness, left leg numbness, and ovarian cysts.
The deciding factor: New evidence received since the final denial suggests a possible link between service and the Veteran's current conditions, warranting further examination and consideration of her claims.
