The Board has determined that the veteran's gynecological disorder, including endometriosis and pelvic adhesive disease, was incurred in service. The decision grants this claim based on an approximate balance of positive and negative evidence.
The deciding factor: The Board found a fair preponderance of the evidence supported the veteran's claim for service connection due to her in-service complaints and subsequent diagnoses post-service.
