The Board remands the claims for service connection for chronic fatigue, microcytic anemia, thyroid nodules with fatigue symptomatology, and insomnia to obtain additional medical opinions.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to a lack of substantial compliance with previous Board remands and to address all evidence of record regarding the Veteran's diagnoses and their potential etiologies.

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 service connection for various conditions, including a head injury, headache disorder, erectile dysfunction, left earache disorder, chronic fatigue, right shoulder disorder, irritable bowel syndrome, right foot disorder, GERD, and left shoulder disorder, as the evidence did not support current diagnoses of these conditions.
- Denied
The Board denied service connection for insomnia as the Veteran does not have a diagnosis of chronic insomnia independent of her service-connected major depressive disorder.
- Granted
