The Board has dismissed the appeals for cervical cancer and miscarriage, and has remanded the claim of service connection for intestinal neoplasm with tubular adenomas status-post polypectomies based on a theory other than presumptive service connection under the PACT Act.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claims were not properly perfected as an appeal under the Appeals Modernization Act (AMA), and thus, the Board cannot consider them. The intestinal neoplasm claim is remanded for further examination to determine if it is related to service exposure at Camp Lejeune.

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.
