The Board has determined that the veteran's service-connected chronic cystitis does not result in urine leakage, frequency, or obstructed voiding, and thus a compensable rating is denied.
The deciding factor: The medical evidence does not show current symptoms of urinary leakage, frequency, or obstruction related to the service-connected chronic cystitis.
