The Board has granted service connection for right ilioinguinal nerve neuropathy with osteitis pubis as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected inguinal hernia associated with residuals, status post exploratory laparotomy, abcess drainage, appendectomy and right inguinal scar status post hernia repair.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's right ilioinguinal nerve neuropathy with osteitis pubis is at least as likely as not proximately due to or the result of his service-connected inguinal hernia associated with residuals, status post exploratory laparotomy, abcess drainage, appendectomy and right inguinal scar status post hernia repair.
