The Board has granted service connection for polyuria as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood.
The deciding factor: The June 2021 private opinion from the Veteran's primary care physician established that the Veteran's polyuria is due to his anxiety, which is a symptom of his service-connected adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood.
