The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for chronic vaginitis, female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD), and dermatitis. The evidence did not support a finding that these conditions began during or were related to active duty service.,There was no positive nexus between current diagnoses of chronic vaginitis, FSAD, and dermatitis and the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there was insufficient evidence to establish a link between the claimed conditions and active duty service. The Veteran did not provide sufficient medical evidence or testimony to support her claims.,VA examinations were scheduled but the Veteran failed to attend, resulting in the inability to consider additional relevant evidence.
