The Board has granted a 20 percent evaluation for the residuals of a fractured pelvis, including bladder and urethral stricture, based on urinary frequency. The veteran's claim for Peyronie's disease is also granted.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence supports the veteran's report of frequent urination and awakening to void frequently, warranting a 20 percent evaluation under the criteria for voiding dysfunction.
