Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a hysterectomy as secondary to PCOS but granted a 10 percent disability rating for the Veteran's polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) because it was manifested by symptoms that required continuous treatment and were controlled by such treatment.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions concluded that the Veteran's hysterectomy was not related to her service-connected PCOS, while the evidence supported a 10 percent rating for PCOS due to its need for continuous treatment.
