The Board granted an initial rating of 30 percent for endometriosis from March 9, 2020, but denied a higher rating and an earlier effective date for special monthly compensation based on housebound criteria.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's endometriosis was found to cause pelvic pain and irregular bleeding not controlled by treatment, warranting a 30 percent rating. However, there was no evidence of lesions involving the bowel or bladder confirmed by laparoscopy or bowel or bladder symptoms, which would have warranted a higher rating.
