The Veteran was granted a disability rating of 100 percent for the period from June 17, 2021 to September 17, 2021 and a 30 percent rating thereafter for her gynecological disability, including hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy. She was also granted an effective date of June 17, 2021 for special monthly compensation based upon loss of use of a creative organ.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim has been continuously pursued and the medical evidence supports the increased rating from the date of her hysterectomy.

What you can do next
Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Granted
The Veteran's gynecological pathology, including uterine muscle pain, pelvic congestion syndrome with iliac vein stent placement, and hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy, is presumed to be related to her service in the Southwest Asia theater of operations during the Persian Gulf War.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Board has remanded the claims for service connection for tinnitus, hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy, hysterectomy scars, bladder disorder, and bowel disorder due to lack of evidence establishing a direct link between these conditions and military service.
- Denied
The Board found that the veteran's service-connected disabilities did not render her in need of regular aid and attendance, as she was able to perform many self-care functions.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected lumbar myositis, psychoneurosis and conversion hysteria, residuals of shrapnel wounds of the left thigh and pelvis with retained foreign bodies and scars, and residuals of shell fragment wounds of the right thigh and left leg. The veteran was also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
