Partly granted
The appeal for service connection for female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) was dismissed. The reduction of the disability rating for left shin splints from 10 percent to noncompensable, effective January 27, 2022, was proper; the claim is denied. A rating in excess of 10 percent for various conditions was denied. An initial 10 percent rating for chronic sinusitis was granted.
The deciding factor: The Board dismissed the appeal for FSAD due to an improper concurrent election for review and denied other claims based on the criteria not being met.
