The veteran's service-connected residuals of prostate cancer, status post prostatectomy, are manifested by transient incontinence that is mild to minimal and does not require the wearing of absorbent materials. Therefore, a compensable evaluation from October 1, 1999 is denied.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence indicating that the veteran's service-connected residuals meet the criteria for a compensable evaluation under renal dysfunction, voiding dysfunction, urinary frequency, obstructed voiding, or urinary tract infection.
