Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the 20 percent disability rating for neurogenic bladder, urinary incontinence.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's urinary symptoms prior to January 1, 2017 were not shown to be related to his service-connected lumbar spine disability and were attributed to BPH which was unrelated to his back condition.
