The Board has granted service connection for a urinary disorder, diagnosed as dysuria and enlarged prostate, finding that the Veteran's condition was aggravated during his military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found clear evidence of aggravation due to the Veteran's pre-existing conditions worsening during service, despite no clear and unmistakable evidence provided by VA to rebut this presumption.
