The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a gynecological disability, including cervical dysplasia, CIN, and HPV, as there is no evidence of a current disability resulting from her in-service condition.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that cervical dysplasia and HPV alone do not constitute a disability for which VA compensation may be awarded.
