Granted

The veteran's service-connected chronic left epididymitis is currently rated at 30 percent, effective November 12, 1996. The Board finds that an evaluation in excess of 30 percent is not warranted.

The deciding factor: The veteran's disability is manifested by intermittent semi-intensive management with antibiotics and bedrest, which does not meet the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 7525.
