Denied
The Board denied service connection for a hysterectomy, recurrent pregnancy loss, appendectomy status post fecaliths appendix (appendectomy), and cholecystectomy as there was no evidence of injury or disease during active duty for training at Camp Lejeune in July 1981, and the current disabilities were not related to active service.
The deciding factor: The persuasive weight of the lay and medical evidence demonstrated that there was no reproductive system injury or disease during ACDUTRA at Camp Lejeune in 1981, and the current hysterectomy and recurrent pregnancy loss were not causally or etiologically related to service.
