The Board has granted service connection for dysesthesia of the left thigh (meralgia paresthetica) as a result of aggravation of a pre-existing condition. Service connection is denied for hematuria and sinus brachycardia.
The deciding factor: Service connection was established based on the veteran's reported symptoms during service, which were found to be aggravated by his preservice left orchiectomy.
