The Board found that the Veteran's urinary incontinence or enuresis is at least partly related to his active duty service and granted service connection for this condition.
The deciding factor: There is competent and credible evidence indicating a link between the Veteran's current urinary incontinence or enuresis and his active duty service, resolving all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
