The Board has granted service connection for adenomyosis and assigned a 10 percent disability rating. The Veteran's initial claim of an increased rating for her herniated disc at L5-S1 with bilateral sciatica is also granted, but the current rating remains at 10 percent.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports the grant of service connection for adenomyosis and the assignment of a 10 percent disability rating. The Veteran's initial claim of an increased rating for her herniated disc was granted as well, with no change in the assigned rating.
