The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for a bladder disorder and an increased evaluation for his left ankle disability. The decision stated that there was no medical diagnosis of any current bladder disorder, and that the veteran did not have evidence linking his bladder disorder to service or a service-connected condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found that there is no medical diagnosis of a current bladder disorder in the record.
