The VA has granted the veteran a 30 percent disability rating for her service-connected pelvic adhesive disease, but found that this is not an extra-schedular case due to the availability of the highest schedular rating.
The deciding factor: The veteran's disability was rated based on its direct connection to her service and does not involve any exceptional factors such as marked interference with employment or frequent periods of hospitalization.

- Whole decision: Granted
The Veteran's service-connected pelvic adhesive disease has been rated at 10% since November 2010. The Board has now granted a rating of 30%, the highest schedular rating available, due to uncontrolled symptoms despite continuous treatment.
- Whole decision: Granted
The Veteran's disability rating for pelvic adhesive disease (PAD) was granted at a 10 percent level, effective January 25, 2011. The Board found that the symptoms required continuous treatment and thus did not meet criteria for a higher rating.
- Whole decision: Granted
The Veteran's pelvic adhesive disease, now rated as hysterectomy with residuals, was granted an initial compensable evaluation from June 7, 2000 to March 2, 2004.
- Whole decision: Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an increased disability evaluation for pelvic adhesive disease prior to July 1, 2000 and her request for an earlier effective date for the grant of a 30% disability evaluation. The current rating of 50% is considered appropriate given the complete removal of both ovaries and the uterus.
