Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection for stress and mixed urinary incontinence. The Board found that the VA did not fully assist the veteran in obtaining necessary medical evidence.
The deciding factor: The Board found a duty to assist error because the examiner did not address the etiology of the Veteran's symptoms and no medical opinion was secured addressing the Veteran's contentions that her pregnancies during service led to her condition.
