The Board remanded the claims for service connection for a sinus disability, facial scars, left hip disability, residuals of human papillomavirus (HPV), and an acquired psychiatric disorder due to duty to assist errors. The claim for a left shoulder disability was denied as new evidence did not warrant readjudication.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's submitted evidence did not provide a relevant link between her current conditions and service, thus denying the claim for a left shoulder disability but remanding other claims due to missing medical opinions.
