Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for bacterial vaginitis but denied the claims for revision of a January 2017 rating decision that denied service connection for vaginitis on the basis of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) and for service connection for right inguinal lymphadenopathy, to include as secondary to a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of chronic vaginitis or a nexus to military service, and the Veteran's symptoms were more appropriately considered as acute conditions without residuals.
