The Board denied the veteran's appeal for a rating in excess of 10 percent for polycystic ovarian syndrome and remanded the issue of service connection for a post hysterectomy disorder as secondary to service connected polycystic ovarian syndrome.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's polycystic ovarian syndrome required continuous treatment, and an adequate opinion regarding the etiology of her post-hysterectomy disorder was not provided.
