The Board denied the Veteran's claim for service connection for a genitourinary condition, including as secondary to hypertension. The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's urinary frequency disorder was related to his service-connected hypertension.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners found no credible evidence linking the Veteran's urinary issues to his treatment with HCTZ or his service-connected hypertension.
