Denied
The Board denied service connection for a urinary condition, claimed as urinary tract infection, finding that the evidence does not support a link between the Veteran's in-service treatment and his current diagnosis.
The deciding factor: The November 2024 VA opinion concluded that it is less likely than not that the Veteran's urinary condition is related to his in-service urinary tract infection, citing multiple medical articles regarding age-related risk factors for urinary dysfunction.
