Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for adhesions, benign cyst of right ovary, and endometriosis, resolving all doubt in favor of the Veteran. The claims for an earlier effective date were denied.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA negative medical opinion was based on incorrect conclusions about the Veteran's periods of active duty service, leading to a grant of service connection due to the approximate balance of positive and negative evidence.
