The Board has granted an increased evaluation for the veteran's glomerulonephritis and urethral stricture, but denied service connection for osteoarthritis as secondary to these conditions and for bradycardia as secondary to these conditions.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence did not support a finding of a nexus between the veteran's osteoarthritis or bradycardia and his service-connected glomerulonephritis and urethral stricture, thus failing to meet the criteria for well-grounded claims.
