It was noted that the Veteran's condition was stable but continued service would worsen the present predisposed genetic problem.  It was noted that the condition existed prior to service and was permanently aggravated by service.

A May 2008 Physical Evaluation Board report reflects that the Veteran had Ehlers-Danlos syndrome with joint pains that interfered with her ability to perform her duties. It was noted that this condition was a congenital condition.  

Following service, and October 2008 VA examinationreport notes that the Veteran had an extensive orthopedic history, including joint laxity and polyarthropathy and was ultimately diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome in July 2007, which is a congenital disorder.  

After physical examination, the examiner noted Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and noted that it was congenital disorder which is causal of polyarthropathy joint laxity with chronic pain and likely causal of her mild cardiac valve defects, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and recurrent urinary tract infection. He determined that this congenital preexisting condition was not permanently worsened by service beyond its natural progression.
