The veteran's service-connected endometriosis is rated at 30 percent, and her right foot condition related to service is granted as secondary service connection.
The deciding factor: The veteran's symptoms of pelvic pain and heavy or irregular bleeding consistent with endometriosis are more closely analogous to a 30% rating under Diagnostic Code 7629. Her right foot condition was found to be related to her period of active service, meeting the secondary service connection criteria.
