The Board has granted the Veteran's motion to revise the September 25, 2005 rating decision that denied service connection for a hysterectomy. The effective date is December 27, 2004.
The deciding factor: The correct facts at the time of the June 2005 VA examination showed that there was documented treatment for abnormal bleeding during and after her active service, which led to the Veteran's need for a total vaginal hysterectomy in August 2002. The decision found that no permanent residual or chronic disability subject to service connection is shown by the Veteran's service medical records or demonstrated by evidence following service.
