The Veteran's residuals of testicular cancer, status post left orchiectomy, are not manifested by abnormal urinary frequency, urine leakage, obstructed voiding, or renal function. Therefore, an initial compensable evaluation is denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show any manifestations of urinary frequency, urine leakage, obstructed voiding, or renal dysfunction that would warrant a compensable evaluation under the applicable rating criteria.
