The Board denied the veteran's claims for a rating higher than 10 percent for her service-connected condyloma and for a temporary total rating of 100 percent under 38 C.F.R. § 4.30.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not meet the criteria for a temporary total rating of 100 percent, as there was no documented need for at least one month of convalescence following her surgery on September 3, 1996. The veteran's claim for a higher rating was also denied due to lack of objective medical evidence showing that she met the criteria for such a rating.

A Supplemental Claim with new and relevant evidence is a separate option. Another Higher-Level Review of the Board decision is not available.

- Whole decision: Denied
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities do not prevent him from obtaining and maintaining substantially gainful employment consistent with his education and occupational background, thus denying the claim for a TDIU.
- Whole decision: Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for a disability rating in excess of 10 percent for lumbar strain and service connection for condyloma, finding that there was no evidence of current disabilities related to these conditions.
- Whole decision: Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the case due to insufficient evidence regarding the Veteran's gynecological disability, including her partial hysterectomy and condyloma. The VA is instructed to obtain missing service separation records, update clinical records, and schedule a VA examination for an opinion on the relationship between the Veteran's current diagnoses and her in-service conditions.
- Whole decision: Dismissed
The Veteran's claim for service connection for condyloma was dismissed due to her withdrawal of the appeal. The Board granted service connection for PTSD, finding that it is at least as likely as not caused by an in-service sexual assault.
