The Board has determined that the veteran's urinary incontinence is related to his active military service and grants service connection for this condition.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner stated that the veteran's current urologic condition, including urge urinary incontinence of undetermined etiology, was related to the veteran's in-service complaints of incontinence.
