The Board has granted service connection for the Veteran's stress incontinence, finding that her symptoms began during service and have continued since then.
The deciding factor: The Board found significant probative weight to the Veteran's lay statements regarding the onset and continuing nature of her urinary stress incontinence, which was not adequately addressed by the prior VA examinations.
