- Granted
The Board has granted a separate rating of 20 percent for bilateral ovarian atrophy coincident with service-connected status post total abdominal hysterectomy, effective June 7, 2010. The claim for a rating in excess of 30 percent for residuals of a total abdominal hysterectomy is denied.

- Granted
The Veteran's post-service hysterectomy is at least as likely as not related to her in-service treatment for gonorrhea and pelvic inflammatory disease. Service connection for the endometriosis condition is granted.
