The veteran's claims for a higher rating for left ovarian cyst with vaginismus, pelvic and perineal pain and increased special monthly compensation were denied. Claims for service connection for lumbar spine disorder, right shoulder disorder, left hip disorder, left knee disorder, and bilateral plantar fasciitis were remanded.
