The Board has granted a 20 percent disability rating for the Veteran's nocturnal enuresis from July 15, 2019. The Veteran previously had a noncompensable rating from August 25, 2008 to July 14, 2019 and now receives a 20 percent rating effective since July 15, 2019.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that the Veteran's nocturnal enuresis disability resulted in daytime voiding intervals between two and three hours, requiring him to awaken up to four times per night. Without medication, this would increase to four times per night, warranting a 20 percent rating.
