Denied
The Board denied service connection for hysterectomy, right side salpingectomy, and uterine fibroids as well as a compensable rating for residuals of left ovarian cyst and suprapubic abdominal scar due to the lack of evidence linking these conditions to active service or a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 VA examination report and January 2024 VA medical opinion concluded that the Veteran's hysterectomy, salpingectomy (right side), and uterine fibroids were not caused by toxic exposure risk activities or any service-connected disabilities.
