The Board has granted service connection for migratory poly-arthritis and denied service connection for hemorrhagic cystitis.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's migratory poly-arthritis is due to an undiagnosed illness, while his current hemorrhagic cystitis disability does not meet the criteria for service connection as there is no evidence of a current disability.
