Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent initial disability rating for the removal of the uterus due to cervical dysplasia and awarded special monthly compensation based on anatomical loss of use of a creative organ.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hysterectomy resulted in the anatomical loss of her uterus, which is considered a creative organ. The Board found that more than three months had passed since the hysterectomy when the Veteran filed for benefits, warranting a 30 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7618.
