The Board denied the veteran's claim of service connection for dysmenorrhea, concluding that her condition did not result from a disease or injury incurred in active military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that the veteran's dysmenorrhea resolved without residual disability and was not due to a disease or injury incurred in service.
