The Veteran's claim for service connection for urinary frequency has been denied as there is no evidence of a current disability that is related to his military service or any service-connected condition.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that the Veteran's urinary problems are more likely due to benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) than to an in-service event, and thus not service connected.
