The Board denied the veteran's claims for a higher rating for PID, service connection for residuals of IUD insertion and removal (the issue was withdrawn), service connection for MIs and CVAs, and service connection for lupus anticoagulopathy. The claim to reopen her vasovagal syncope claim was also denied due to lack of new and material evidence.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not support the veteran's claims for a higher rating for PID or service connection for MIs and CVAs, as there were no confirmed diagnoses of these conditions. The examiner noted that the veteran's reported history of MIs and CVAs was inconsistent with her clinical findings.
