Denied
The Board denied service connection for scars residual of dog bite right hand, dermatitis, right shoulder and adhesive/latex skin allergy, infertility, residuals of left ovary dermoid cyst surgery with scars, and complete loss of sense of smell (Phantosmia).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's conditions were related to her service or incurred as a result of an in-service injury.
