The Board denied service connection for a chronic urinary disorder, sexual impotence, and psychiatric disability. The veteran's claims were based on direct service connection rather than secondary or presumptive service connection.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of a chronic urinary disorder related to military service, and the diagnoses of sexual impotence and psychiatric disability were not shown to be directly related to service.
