The Veteran's gynecological disability, diagnosed as female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD), is granted secondary to her service-connected neurological disability. A rating of 60 percent for the Veteran's service-connected neurological disability is also granted.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that the Veteran's FSAD was at least as likely as not attributable to her service-connected neurological disability and resulted in the inability to accomplish and/or maintain an ample reaction during sexual intercourse without medication or treatment.
