The Board has granted the Veteran's claim for service connection for a left testicle disability, finding that it is at least as likely as not incurred in service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's current left testicle disability and its onset following his in-service hernia surgery are supported by competent and credible evidence, including the Veteran's own statements about his symptoms.
