K. Turner Hi  K., welcome to Hadit. OK your two questions. First, to get a disability from the VA you need 1) a current diagnosis, 2) an event or injury in-service, and 3) a medical opinion that they are connected Ex. your ankle injury/surgery is the cause of your current foot arthritis. If you had a diagnosis that your hysterectomy  was caused in the service, you need a doctor to provide that analysis and rationale, called a nexus. Your own doctor can do that, but it is advisable to read up on what is needed for a successful IMO or nexus. The doc provides his reasoning, based on a technical basis and lists his or her professional accomplishments, kinda like a biography includes his professional degrees, any published articles, etc. As for your second question, it may be connected to the Korean territory as it relates to Agent Orange. Many diseases are considered presumptive to A.O., but there are strict limitations regulating that condition  See https://www.hillandponton.com/va-presumptives-korean-veterans/      If this doesn't fit your situation, then I'm not aware of any other special considerations for Korean veterans. So it would default to the 3 elements explained above. As an aside, if the veteran was a Marine and was stationed at Camp Lejeune, there are presumptives for cancers if they meet the requirements of time frame and duration. See https://www.va.gov/disability/eligibility/hazardous-materials-exposure/camp-lejeune-water-contamination/  I can anticipate you have more questions based on your specific details. Ask away if you do. 

Thank you

I recently had a hysterectomy due to fibroids. When I was in the military I had pain on my right side.  I later had surgery for ovarian cyst. How can I  connect it to service. Also how can I get information on Korean war policy on tumors
