The Veteran's disability rating for pelvic adhesive disease (PAD) was granted at a 10 percent level, effective January 25, 2011. The Board found that the symptoms required continuous treatment and thus did not meet criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed moderate pain and pelvic pressure from PAD but no indication of symptoms not controlled by continuous treatment.

- Whole decision: Granted
The Veteran's service-connected pelvic adhesive disease has been rated at 10% since November 2010. The Board has now granted a rating of 30%, the highest schedular rating available, due to uncontrolled symptoms despite continuous treatment.
- Whole decision: Granted

- Whole decision: Granted
The VA has granted the veteran a 30 percent disability rating for her service-connected pelvic adhesive disease, but found that this is not an extra-schedular case due to the availability of the highest schedular rating.
- Whole decision: Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an increased disability evaluation for pelvic adhesive disease prior to July 1, 2000 and her request for an earlier effective date for the grant of a 30% disability evaluation. The current rating of 50% is considered appropriate given the complete removal of both ovaries and the uterus.
