Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a compensable rating for dysmenorrhea due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The April 2024 examination was found to be inadequate because it is inconsistent and does not accurately reflect the Veteran's current symptoms, particularly during her pregnancy which may have affected the severity of her dysmenorrhea.
