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.

Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Partly granted
The Board restored the 10 percent rating for cervicitis, denied increased ratings for knee and GERD conditions, and denied an evaluation in excess of 50 percent for obstructive sleep apnea with asthma and COPD. The TDIU claim was remanded.
- Denied
The Veteran's claims for service connection were denied. The claim for cervicitis was not reopened due to lack of new and material evidence, while the claims for high cholesterol, an acquired psychiatric disorder other than PTSD (to include depression), heavy menstrual bleeding, hypothyroidism, and a bilateral eye disability are all remanded.
- Granted
The Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy, adjustment disorder, bowel incontinence, cervicitis, bladder incontinence, ovarian cyst rupture, and meralgia paresthetica of left thigh, have rendered her unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation.
- Granted
The Board granted service connection for obstructive sleep apnea, effective from the date of the February 2025 rating decision.
