The Board remands the claims for service connection for a skin disability of the bilateral feet, residuals of a hysterectomy, and cervical polyps to obtain adequate VA examinations.
The deciding factor: The prior VA medical opinions were found inadequate due to lack of detailed rationale or addressing specific theories of entitlement as directed by the Board in previous remands.

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.
