The Board remands the matter of entitlement to a compensable rating for service-connected fallopian tube condition with history of gynecological infections to include infertility due to an inadequate May 2020 VA examination and September 2020 opinion addendum.
The deciding factor: The May 2020 VA examination was found to be inadequate as it did not indicate whether a hysterosalpingography was conducted, which is necessary to determine if the fallopian tube is blocked.

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.
