The Board denied the veteran's claims of service connection for genital warts, and denied her increased rating claims for nephrolithiasis and a Cesarean Section scar. The evidence did not show recurrent stone formation or attacks of colic requiring medical intervention.
The deciding factor: The clinical evidence did not demonstrate recurrent kidney stones or attacks of colic that would warrant an increased rating under the applicable diagnostic codes.

Therefore, the Veteran is denied financial assistance for automobile or other conveyance and adaptive equipment.
