Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a total hysterectomy secondary to service-connected bladder cancer and special monthly compensation based on loss of use of a creative organ, but remanded the claim for service connection for migraines.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on evidence showing that the Veteran's total hysterectomy was due to her service-connected bladder cancer, and she now has an absence of ovaries leading to SMC eligibility. The Board found it necessary to remand the migraine claim for a more thorough examination.
