The Board granted a separate disability rating of 10 percent for the laparoscopic scars and denied higher ratings for all other conditions.
The deciding factor: For the initial rating period from April 12, 2022 to December 14, 2022, the endometriosis manifested in symptoms of pelvic pain that required continuous treatment, warranting a 10 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7629.
