The Board found that the Veteran's cervical dysplasia with left pelvic pain does not warrant a rating in excess of 10 percent as her symptoms are not controlled by continuous treatment and she is currently asymptomatic.
The deciding factor: The December 2011 VA examination report indicated no current gynecological conditions or symptoms related to the Veteran's service-connected cervical dysplasia with left pelvic pain, including chronic pelvic adhesive disease, chronic pelvis pain, and endometriosis. The examiner found that she did not require treatment or medications for her symptoms.
