The Board found no current diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease and concluded that the veteran's PID was not incurred or aggravated by service. The claim for increased rating for low back pain with L5 radiculopathy is not related to this appeal.
The deciding factor: PID was first diagnosed in service, but there is no evidence of continuity of symptoms post-service or a current diagnosis linked to service.
