The Board found that the veteran's urinary condition was not incurred or aggravated by service and denied his claim.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner rejected the argument that the veteran's urinary disorder is due to his left varicocele, finding no current evidence of left varicocele or a left testicle. The weight of the evidence is against the appellant's claim for service connection.
