The Veteran's claim for service connection for microhematuria was denied as there is no evidence of a current disability. The retroactive payment of $4318 issued September 2009 for CRDP was also denied.
The deciding factor: There is no competent medical evidence showing the presence of a current disability associated with microhematuria, and the Veteran's lay assertions are not sufficient to establish this claim.
