The Board has determined that the veteran's service-connected cervicitis does not warrant an increased rating as it is already at its maximum allowable under VA disability ratings.
The deciding factor: The veteran's cervicitis currently receives a 30 percent disability rating, which is the highest possible under the applicable diagnostic code and represents full compensation for her condition.
