The Board of Veterans' Appeals denied the veteran's claim for service connection for a right testicle disability due to lack of competent medical evidence showing current diagnosis.
The deciding factor: There is no current medical evidence of a right testicle disability, and the veteran has not presented competent evidence of a plausible claim of service connection.
