The Veteran's initial disability rating for service-connected uterine fibroid tumors has been granted at a 30 percent level. Service connection has also been established for chronic anemia and voiding dysfunction to include urinary urgency and urinary incontinence, both secondary to the service-connected uterine fibroid tumors.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's symptoms of chronic anemia and voiding dysfunction are caused by her service-connected uterine fibroid tumors.
