Denied
The Board denied service connection for a condition manifested by groin pain, leg burning, and lower extremity swelling as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected prostate cancer. The Board also denied special monthly compensation based on the need for regular aid and attendance.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support that the Veteran's claimed conditions were caused or aggravated by his service-connected prostate cancer, nor was there a factual need for regular aid and attendance due to his service-connected disabilities.
