The Board granted service connection for HPV, vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia and benign fibroepithelial polyp, labia status post excision (secondary to HPV), and a 50 percent rating for migraine headaches from August 22, 2010, to November 1, 2016.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported finding that the Veteran's HPV was aggravated beyond its natural progression by service, and that her vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia and benign fibroepithelial polyp, labia status post excision were due to her now service-connected HPV. The Board also found that the criteria for a 50 percent rating from August 22, 2010, to November 1, 2016, for service-connected migraine headaches had been met.
