The Board remanded the veteran's claim for service connection of uterine fibroids, excessive bleeding, and lesion disability. The Board found that a medical examination is required to address a pre-decisional duty to assist error.

The deciding factor: The Board found that a medical examination is required because there is competent evidence of a current disability and indications that the disability may be associated with service, but insufficient competent medical evidence on file for VA to make a decision on the claim.
