The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for a gynecological condition, diagnosed as oligomenorrhea and uterine fibroids, finding that there is no evidence linking these conditions to her active military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners found no evidence of a link between the Veteran's gynecological conditions and her service, and the Board placed significant probative weight on their opinions.
