The Board has granted a greater than non-compensable rating for the Veteran's service-connected uterine fibroids, finding that her symptoms of pelvic pain are continuously present and warrant a 10 percent rating under DC 7613-7615.
The deciding factor: The Board found sufficient basis to award a 10 percent rating based on the Veteran's consistent reports of pelvic pain caused by her uterine fibroids, despite no continuous medical treatment being provided.
