Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for menstrual disability, hyperthyroidism, multinodular thyroid, and scars, status/post thyroidectomy due to inadequate VA opinions regarding their etiology.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations and opinions acquired during the claims period fail to address whether such conditions were due to the Veteran's inservice surgery or irregular menstrual cycles during service.
