The Veteran's appeal for service connection for an enlarged prostate was denied, while he was granted service connection for a neurological disorder (claimed as migraines and aura). The decision is mixed because one issue was granted and the other was denied.
The deciding factor: Service connection was established for the neurological disorder but not for the enlarged prostate due to new evidence being submitted in support of the neurological claim.
