The Board has remanded the case for further development, including obtaining medical opinions and evidence to determine if cervical dysplasia resulted from service-connected chronic cervicitis and whether hysterectomy was secondary to that condition.
The deciding factor: Further evaluation is needed to establish a link between service-connected conditions and the need for additional compensation.
