The Board remands the claims for service connection for acute intermittent tension headaches and a gynecological condition, to include any surgical complications of pregnancy, due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to obtain additional medical opinions that properly consider the Veteran's contentions regarding her in-service experiences and their potential impact on her current conditions.

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.
