Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable evaluation for residuals of resection of small intestine with peritoneal adhesions and post-operative bilateral ovarian cysts with left oophorectomy, but granted a 10 percent rating for an abdominal scar.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's abdominal scar was found to be unstable or painful, warranting a 10 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7804. However, the evidence did not support a compensable evaluation for the other conditions.
