The Board has reopened the veteran's claim for service connection for enuresis and found that new evidence submitted since the 1997 denial shows inservice treatment. However, the VA examiner concluded that the current enuresis is due to benign prostatic hypertrophy unrelated to service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner determined that the veteran's current enuresis is not related to his service and was likely caused by aging rather than aggravation during service.
