The Board has granted service connection for metrorrhagia, finding it is related to the Veteran's service-connected Cushing’s syndrome. The other claims of service connection were denied as there was no current disability or evidence linking the conditions to service.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted for metrorrhagia because it was found to be at least as likely as not caused by the Veteran's service-connected Cushing’s syndrome.
