The Board remands the case to obtain a medical opinion regarding whether the Appellant was insane at the time of her misconduct leading to an other than honorable discharge, as this issue is inextricably intertwined with the claim for compensation for a scar of the anterior trunk, status post cesarean section.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that a remand is necessary to obtain a medical opinion regarding the Appellant's mental status at the time of her misconduct due to the interrelated nature of the claims.

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.
