The Board granted service connection for cervical neoplasia, grade III severe dysplasia and tinnitus, while denying service connection for fatigue syndrome, scarring, status-post LEEP, and other conditions. The decision also denied initial ratings in excess of 70% for major depressive disorder and various other disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Board granted service connection for cervical neoplasia, grade III severe dysplasia based on the Veteran's active duty diagnosis and treatment records, while denying service connection for fatigue syndrome due to a lack of evidence supporting its existence during or proximate to her claim. The decision also resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran regarding tinnitus and recurrent chest tightness.
