The veteran's claim for a compensable rating for the residuals of her left ovarian cyst and uterine leiomyomata prior to June 2, 2000 was granted. Her claim for a compensable initial rating for allergic rhinitis was denied.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not demonstrate that continuous treatment controlled the veteran's symptoms, thus preventing an increase in her disability rating.

- Denied
The Board denied service connection for dizziness and giddiness, as well as increased disability ratings for alopecia, seborrheic dermatitis, cervical strain, degenerative disc disease of the thoracolumbar spine, dysphagia, left ovarian cyst with dysmenorrhea, and uterine fibroid. The Board also remanded an issue regarding service connection for right lower extremity radiculopathy as secondary to a service-connected back disability.
- Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for the Veteran's left ovarian cyst, finding that her symptoms did not require continuous treatment and she was already receiving a 30% disability rating for her hysterectomy and right oophorectomy.
- Granted
The Board has granted service connection for a hysterectomy on a secondary, causation basis due to the Veteran's left ovarian cyst. The decision resolves reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
- Granted
The Veteran's claims for service connection have been granted, with the exception of asthma or bronchitis. The Board has also reopened her previously denied claims and remanded two issues: entitlement to more than a 10 percent rating for follicular cervicitus with PID and entitlement to service connection for a respiratory disability (asthma or bronchitis).
