The Board has granted service connection for uterine lesions, abnormal uterine/vaginal bleeding and cramps, groin pain, left ovarian cyst, vaginal atrophy, and residuals of fallopian tube obstruction (claimed as residuals of tubal ligation) due to the evidence being approximately evenly balanced in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was an approximate balance of evidence supporting a finding that these disabilities began during service, thus granting service connection based on direct service connection.
