Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for endometriosis effective July 2, 2021, but denied an increased rating and earlier effective date for dysmenorrhea.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of pelvic pain and heavy or irregular bleeding were not controlled by treatment, warranting a 30 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7629. However, there was no evidence of lesions involving the bowel or bladder confirmed by laparoscopy to support a higher 50 percent rating.
