Partly granted
The Board granted a separate 30 percent rating for endometriosis-related chronic pelvic pain but denied an evaluation higher than 30 percent for bilateral ovarian cysts, ovarian cyst removal, and adhesions.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's chronic pelvic pain was not controlled by treatment, unrelated to the menstrual cycle, and not caused by ovary disease injury or adhesions. However, there were no lesions involving the bowel or bladder confirmed by laparoscopy that would warrant a 50 percent rating under DC 7629.
