Granted
The Veteran's appeal for service connection of a bladder disorder was granted. The appeals for lumbar spine, bilateral eye, kidney disease, liver disorder, and sleep apnea were denied.
The deciding factor: New evidence received since the last denial raised a reasonable possibility of substantiating the previously denied claim for bladder disorder.
