The Board has granted service connection for residuals of a right testicle injury, but denied service connection for Peyronie's disease as the evidence does not support a link to military service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that there was no medical evidence linking the veteran's Peyronie's disease to his time in service or any incident therein.
