The Veteran's service-connected fibroids and menometrorrhagia, status post uterine ablation caused urinary frequency with daytime voiding intervals between one and two hours and awakening to void approximately three times per night. The Board granted a 20 percent evaluation for this condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's urinary frequency symptoms more closely approximated the criteria for a 20 percent evaluation under Diagnostic Code 4.115a, which applies to urinary frequency with daytime voiding intervals between one and two hours or awakening to void three to four times per night.
