The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection of a prostate disability and an effective date prior to June 1, 1993 for the grant of a 30 percent evaluation for absent right testicle, non-functioning left testicle, secondary to carcinoma. The veteran was not granted service connection for his prostate disability as it did not manifest during or after active duty service. For the absence of right testicle and left testicle condition, the Board found that an effective date prior to June 1, 1993 is not warranted due to lack of evidence showing a factual increase in disability within one year preceding the claim.

The deciding factor: The veteran's prostate disability was not shown to be incurred or aggravated by service and there was no evidence of a factual increase in disability within one year prior to his claim for an effective date prior to June 1, 1993.
