Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a temporary 100 percent evaluation for convalescence due to her June 2021 uterine fibroid removal surgery, finding no evidence of a nexus between the uterine fibroid and her service-connected ovarian cyst disability.
The deciding factor: The October 2024 VA medical opinion found that there was no medical relationship between the Veteran's uterine fibroid and her service-connected ovarian cyst disability, which is supported by multiple other VA opinions.
